I do agree some small group of people within the KPMG empire is going to feel the sting of this. I worry the lesson for the rest is going to be "don't get caught", not "don't do that". I struggle to think of

Thank you for sharing it! Articles like this are how one learns the nuances of such things, and it's good for people to keep putting them out there.

You don't think having functional computers being capable of trillions of operations per second is even the slightest bit of an improvement over use of literal stones? I am genuinely curious: What do you imagine would be the kind of th

Phone scams are at an all time high. The same for identity theft and other forms of fraud. That article avoids it but I'm sure it's on people's minds. The FTC reported Friday that more than $10 Billion was stolen via fraud
