Re: Fraud?
said by morbo  :At the very least, the unique "tax writeoff" they received for the Fairport deal should be rescinded by the IRS. On what legal grounds? Assuming Verizon followed the letter of the law that allowed them to have this writeoff why should Verizon be punished for the poor business decisions made by someone else?
That sounds almost as silly and preposterous as forcing US taxpayers to bail out banks that made bad loans to people who should not have been borrowing in the first place.
Oh, wait a minute.

Kind of like a company that was allowed an aquisition in the first place. Fairpoint should have never been allow to aquire Verizons unwanted territories. The regulators that allowed this to happen should be fired, and billboards itemizing this fiasco should be erected in areas that Frontier is looking to aquire from Verizon.

Lake Zurich, IL | Why? The bond holders are the ones who will be screwed, and they're all the evil rich greedy fat cat bastard republican executive (did I mention evil?) guys, so they deserve to lose their shirts.
Isn't that the mantra of the times? |

There are both good and bad Democrats and Republicans. But by and large Democrats are more interested in the affair and well-being of the average Joe than the Republican party at whole. |

i'll give you a hint: YES.

You must be the only one who thinks George W Bush was a messiah. Back on this planet, who started the whole bailout everyone turd rolling? Oh yeah, GWB again. Dang, people always leave that part out because he's not in office anymore. Some people have really short term memories.
