Ex-HealthSouth Exec Says Feared Guns, Grenades
Tired of those pointy-headed morons in Accounting questioning line-items on your expense report? Try this, and I guarantee those annoying queries will come to a screeching halt.
Dow Jones News Service via NewsEdge Corporation : BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)--Five workers who made false accounting entries during a huge fraud at HealthSouth Corp. (HLSH, HRC) kept silent out of fear after realizing the company was buying guns, grenades and spy equipment, according to testimony Wednesday at the first sentencing in the case.
Emery Harris, a former assistant controller at the Birmingham-based health care giant, said he and four subordinates facing prison time and hefty fines were afraid to report what was going on to authorities.
The fear intensified as they saw invoices coming in for weapons, small cameras hidden in plants, car-tracking devices and disguises with wigs, Harris said.
Yep, those panty-waisted bean counters will be treating you with more respect in no time flat....
