Accounting Fraud/Enron general View Thread Reply Hide TMan - Thu, 10 Dec 2015 23:25:01 EST DENqVUuL No.44888 File: 1449807901178.jpg -(48027B / 46.90KB, 617x534) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Currently doing a research project on Enron & why accounting fraud never works. I've already done plenty of research, watched The Smartest Guys In The Room, etc. Apparently plenty of law schools use the collapse of Enron in their classes. So I was just wondering if /law/ had any extensive information on accounting fraud and why it never works (usually). It would be appreciated. Bonus: I live near Houston where the company was located, so talking to friends/family about Enron has been really easy.>Accounting Fraud general thread 1 posts omitted.

Hello all, At around 4:00 A.M. EST, i was working at my local grocery store. I normally work day shift cashier. As of late i have been working "file maintenance", which is responsible for taking down and putting up new tags/signs. Only because they are short handed for the holidays. The night lead is a real company man, with twenty plus years under his belt. Lives, breaths, eats, shits, and sleeps for the company. He is in charge of the store overnight. Now, myself and a few others listen to music on this shift while working. Because it helps pass the time, and no music plays in the store during these early hours. I don't use headphones, but listen through my phone out loud. Not loud enough to really bother anyone. There i was minding my own business, when the night lead comes up. Starts harassing me about the music. Telling me, not asking, to turn it off. He became rather irate, when i didn't turn it off. Raising his voice to me, acting out like a child having a tantrum. Telling him that he was out of line, and needed to take it down a notch. I was being completely civil with him. I told him i was tired of him singling me out every opportunity he got, and to leave me alone( I am not the only one who does this, and he doesn't say a thing). He told me to leave, and I said no. He then called the cops on me! When they arrived i told them my side, and that this man was ridiculous. I was told either i leave, or i would be arrested for trespassing. I lost four and a half hours of work for listening to music. It was a sad turn of events. I left with a very salty taste in my mouth, and have since, called the Union, and some local labor firm of sorts. But, what i want to know, is there anything legal action that i can take? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers 3 posts omitted.

(store policy ya know.) In turn the police would have to fill out a report. All which would be reviewed. Give the police a break for petty 'nothing' situations. Surely if police are called by said manager and if it as a large chain store is would take resources up the chain to look into why the police were called, at any chain store, restaurant, why he did so and if he had rational state-of-mind authority to send somebody off the job given the circumstances in the first place.I have worked around people like this manager. It creates a less productive, less cooperative, lesssafe working environment. It goes as well with management that is too permissive of monkey business. I have seen injuriesthat should not have happened because of fooling around more than working and people gethospitalized because of this loose atmosphere permitted by management.

Hello I want to change my name but also receive SSI for disability. (MS)I've had a lot of problems with Social Security and my pension in the past. A few months ago they falsely accused me of having 5 grand in stocks, which took 3 months to appeal (w/o receiving income) And it took me two months for them to adjust my income level after a hiccup in their system where they took 1/3 out of regular check.I'd really like to change my name but they aren't swift or thorough about anything and I do not want them fucking me over like they have in the past.How long do you think it would take to process the name change and if their is a lapse in reeving income how long would it likely be? >> Molly Fobblenitch - Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:22:22 EST 3xXBEjni No.44855 Reply >>44854sorry for my poor grammar >> Graham Pockridge - Sun, 29 Nov 2015 19:19:10 EST U23++ADK No.44863 Reply >>44854There are plenty of free legal advice sites out there.

I will try to keep this as short as possible people.I know someone, a woman, who is Lebanese and has 2 children. She is married but they are basically separated. The guy he is I think technically a sociopath and he uses his own kids as pawns in his game. He doe snot love them and he does not live with her or his 2 kids anymore, but does see them sometimes. Example he took them on a 40km journey on a motorbike with no helmets and they are like 10 and 12 yo, also it was cold and now they are ill. Anyway she wants to the country because Lebanese law is such that the man has all of the power when it comes to custody of kids through a divorce and many other things. She wants to flee. She does not know how and I a wondering what would be the best place, way and how? The main thing here is for the kids sake, this guy is terrible and ruining many livesAny further details that are needed I will provide themThanks in advance >> Molly Pittworth - Tue, 24 Nov 2015 16:15:19 EST HAfEOiIH No.44856 Reply 1448399719582.jpg -(130241B / 127.19KB, 933x363) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. >>44850This isn't a law question, other than that you're asking for counsel on how to help her break the law.

If someone was convicted of 5 felonies for an incident, and theyve been sentenced to probation and about 3 years has passed, is there anyway to take the case back to trial or something, and persue attempted manslaughter? Im in NYS, I'd appreciate anyone's feedback. It was 3 years ago, like I said and the court preceedings are all over. I know there's no double-jeopardy in this country but is there some re-assessment of the case that can take place? The police have a machete used in the incident in their possession and a lot of other evidence documented. I have no idea how this guy didn't go to prison, I'm really fucking baffled but I think he ought to. >> Hannah Sammertan - Tue, 24 Nov 2015 00:10:55 EST 7uuwzQBM No.44852 Reply Double jeopardy wouldn't apply to a manslaughter charge if it concerned actions or elements not covered by the previous convictions.
