AT&T raising charges by 33%

Edward Harrison — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:13:06 +0000

This is not an opinion on AT&T stock since AT&T benefits from a monopoly status in fixed line and oligopoly status in mobile telecom. But I did want to briefly flag something regarding the telecom industry and M&

Anti-employee Control Fraud

William Black — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:00:27 +0000

Apple has released a report on working conditions in its suppliers’ factories. It highlights a form of control fraud that criminology has identified but rarely discussed. I write overwhelmingly about accounting control fraud because it drives our recurrent, intensifying financial crises. The primary intended victims of accounting control frauds are the shareholders and the creditors. Other private sector control frauds target customers (e.g., George Akerlof’s 1970 article on “lemons”), and the public (e.g., the unlawful disposal of toxic waste, illegal logging, and tax fraud)
