  • Worldcom1 Ethics Case Study
    fWorldCom1 By Dennis Moberg (Santa Clara University) and Edward Romar (University of Massachusetts- Boston) An update for this case is available. 2002 saw an unprecedented number of corporate scandals: Enron, Tyco, Global Crossing. In many ways, WorldCom is just another case of failed corporate governance, accounting abuses, and outright greed. But none of these other companies had senior executives as colorful and likable as Bernie Ebbers. A Canadian by birth, the 6 foot, 3 inch former basketball coach and Sunday School teacher emerged from the collapse of WorldCom not only broke but with a personal net worth as a negative nine-digit number.2 No palace in a gated community, no stable of racehorses or multi-million dollar yacht to show for the telecommunications giant he created. Only debts and red ink--results some consider inevitable given his unflagging enthusiasm and entrepreneurial flair. There is no question that he did some pretty bad stuff, but he really wasn't like the corporate villains of his day: Andy Fastow of Enron, Dennis Koslowski of Tyco, or Gary Winnick of Global Crossing.3 Personally, Bernie is a hard guy not to like. In 1998 when Bernie was in the midst of acquiring the telecommunications firm MCI, Reverend Jesse Jackson, speaking at an all-black college near WorldCom's Mississippi headquarters, asked how Ebbers could afford $35 billion for MCI but hadn't donated funds to local black students. Businessman LeRoy Walker Jr., was in the audience at Jackson's speech, and afterwards set him straight. Ebbers had given over $1 million plus loads of information technology to that black college.

  • In Re: Global Crossing, Ltd. Securities Litigation 02-CV-00910-Notice Of
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________ x IN RE GLOBAL CROSSING, LTD. : Case No. 02 Civ. 910 (GEL) SECURITIES LITIGATION : ________________________________________________ x NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION PARTIAL SETTLEMENT, MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES AND FAIRNESS HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE ANDERSEN SETTLEMENT If You Bought or Exchanged Global Crossing Ltd. Securities or Asia Global Crossing Ltd. Securities between February 1, 1999 and December 8, 2003, you might be a member of the class in this action entitling you to receive relief in connection with a partial settlement of the action. A federal court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. ■ On July 7, 2005, a settlement between the plaintiffs and Arthur Andersen LLP (the “Settlement”) was preliminarily approved by the Court in the action captioned above. The Settlement partially resolves a lawsuit over whether the prices of common stock, convertible preferred stock and bonds of Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing were artificially inflated as a result of alleged fraudulent misrepresentations and non-disclosures and violations of federal securities laws. ■ The Settlement provides for a Settlement Fund of approximately $25 million, less fees and costs. The amount to be distributed among the class members will be divided between Global Crossing and Asia Global Crossing securities purchasers, with Global Crossing securities purchasers getting 92% of the amount and Asia Global Crossing securities purchasers getting the remaining 8%. ■ As explained below, this is the third partial settlement in this lawsuit. If you qualify and have not filed a claim in either of the prior settlements and would like to submit one, you may do so.

Baird* & Robert K. Rasmussen** ABSTRACT The law of corporate reorganizations is conventionally justified as a way to preserve a firm’s going-concern value: Specialized assets in a particular firm are worth more together in that firm than anywhere else. This paper shows that this notion is mistaken. Its flaw is that it lacks a well- developed understanding of the nature of a firm.

  • Worldcom's Bankruptcy Crisis
    Center for Ethical Organizational Cultures Auburn University http://harbert.auburn.edu WorldCom’s Bankruptcy Crisis INTRODUCTION The story of WorldCom began in 1983 when businessmen Murray Waldron and William Rector sketched out a plan to create a long-distance telephone service provider on a napkin in a coffee shop in Hattiesburg, Miss. Their new company, Long Distance Discount Service (LDDS), began operating as a long distance reseller in 1984. Early investor Bernard Ebbers was named CEO the following year. Through acquisitions and mergers, LDDS grew quickly over the next 15 years. The company changed its name to WorldCom, achieved a worldwide presence, acquired telecommunications giant MCI, and eventually expanded beyond long distance service to offer the whole range of telecommunications services. WorldCom became the second-largest long-distance telephone company in America, and the firm seemed poised to become one of the largest telecommunications corporations in the world. Instead, it became the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history at the time and another name on a long list of those disgraced by the accounting scandals of the early 21st century. ACCOUNTING FRAUD AND ITS CONSEQUENCES Unfortunately for thousands of employees and shareholders, WorldCom used questionable accounting practices and improperly recorded $3.8 billion in capital expenditures, which boosted cash flows and profit over all four quarters in 2001 as well as the first quarter of 2002. This disguised the firm’s actual net losses for the five quarters because capital expenditures can be deducted over a longer period of time, whereas expenses must be subtracted from revenue immediately. WorldCom also spread out expenses by reducing the book value of assets from acquired companies and simultaneously increasing the value of goodwill.

Conclusions Introduction Global Crossing is a company established in the United States. It was and still is a giant in the world of telecommunications. The company suffered a crisis in the early two thousands in having to face USA bankruptcy protection law (Chapter 11). However, Global Crossing is now one of the most powerful multinationals in the sector and recently conquered the Latin American market by acquiring IMPSAT, which was the largest telecommunications company in America (North, Central and South America)2. This means that Global Crossing is the owner of the largest network in the globe with subsidiaries registered in twenty six countries3, and fifty locations all over the world4. Global Crossing provides a wide range of services which include the value added services, the telecommunication services and information security. In the digital era, communication services have become essential and the fall of a massive company such as Global Crossing can destabilize the market, the systems and increase the prices of telecommunication services.
