Humor me this one point with respect to the companies claiming losses against Mitnick. Each claim millions of dollars in loss, yet none of them posted said losses to their stockholders in those given years. Why has this been consistently overlooked? It would seem to me that a company could not claim a loss without reporting it to their stockholders. And if they didn't report it to their stockholders, then shouldn't the Federal Trade Commission look into it? And if it is determined that they rightly did not report a loss, then wouldn't that mean there was in fact no loss and that their sworn testimony to the courts were in fact perjury? Something's not right in Denmark. -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn". Today's ISN Sponsor: OSAll [www.aviary-mag.com]
