Andersen veterinary finally win
Scott Ozanus was in a conference call, if the e-mails in began to come
His colleague, expatriate partner of Arthur Andersen, wanted bittersüßen the resumption of his message, which the company was upheld by the Supreme Court.
Mr. Ozanus, the former head of Andersen in Dallas and now associate director of KPMG here, was not surprised by the fall of the Court of Auditors of Enron, the company 2002 on conviction. Three judges foreshadowed the decision, if it condemns the prosecutor during a hearing before the April.
But he was shocked by the speed and solidarity.
“How many times you will see the Supreme Court come with a zero Nine judgement - Nine zero,” Mr. Ozanus be repeated. “This is really what bothers everyone. When they came as a Split Decision, five or four, six-three, they would have said:” Well, they had different viewpoints. “But when it comes back to zero to nine, said he was flat wrong.”
It is in the whole justification, but hollow Justice, Mr. Ozanus said.
“For me it is nothing more than a moral victory,” said the 45 years, began his career at Andersen Junior as the Texas A & M University in 1980.
“We won. We were not guilty. The company can not be dissolved, “he said.” It is good to know that everyone, but we can not backwards in the past. You can not complain about the federal government and the company has yet to life. It is not to replace the millions of capital that all partners lost. The path [U.S. District] Richter [Melinda] Harmon gave his instructions destroyed the company. ”
Assistant Attorney General John C. Judge said that the Government is disappointed with the decision and decide later if it is again Andersen.
Mr. Ozanus, voice, mostly Republicans, said he had a new skepticism about how the government really works.
“If the government continues its opinion about something, get what she wants. I question whether Judge Harmon really be impartial, as she knew that the Department of Justice filed the suit and felt guilty ‘ Andersen. Could they really get rid of the agriculture, which accounts for it?
