Meet Leslie Caldwell. President Obama has installed Ms. Caldwell, known as a “terror of a prosecutor,” as head of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice. It has been over a decade since Ms. Caldwell destroyed Arthur Anderson, and with it, 85,000 jobs—only to be reversed by the Supreme Court nine to nothing (well after she went into private practice). Now the president has brought her back—with a big promotion—and the vengeance of DOJ already aimed at Credit Suisse, BNP Paribas and others.

Ms. Caldwell and her then right hand man, Andrew Weissmann, viewed businessmen and bankers as “wise guys on Wall Street,” deserving of brutal prosecutorial tactics. Their prosecutions proceeded on the theory that the “end justifies the means.” Winning was the sole goal. They forgot that the job of a federal prosecutor is to seek justice—not convictions.

Andrew Weissmann and Leslie Caldwell are all smiles in June 2002, during the Arthur Andersen criminal trial. The conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court 9-0.

She resigned a while back...

Weissman Caldwell > Enron

Ithe seems that every time fuckery is afoot a pipeline or oil and gas is involved.

Not that a "MSM" fish wrap has covered this authoritatively, but it makes one wonder what Enron, 9/11, and the rest of the motley crew with an interest in those events conspired those days…

Ernst and Young has won a potential four-and-a-half year, $149.4 million contract for financial statement audit services to the Navy.

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service received two quotes for the contract that covers a five-month base period with four one-year options.

If they miss fraud on one company what are the chances of others and how much tax goes off…

The SEC’s order finds that despite placing the Weatherford audits in a high-risk category, Ernst & Young’s audit team repeatedly failed to detect the company’s fraud until it was more than four years ongoing.  The audit team was aware of post-closing adjustments that Weatherford was making to significantly lower its year-end provision for income taxes each year, but it relied on Weatherford’s unsubstantiated explanations instead of performing the required audit procedures to scrutinize the company’s accounting.  The SEC’s order also finds that Ernst & Young did not take effective measures to minimize known recurring problems its audit teams experienced when auditing tax accounting.

Global audit and consulting firm Ernst & Young has named Mark Weinberger, a longtime Washington insider, as its next chairman and chief executive, a signal that connections in the U.S. capital may be growing in importance to a profession facing greater scrutiny.

A former lobbyist and assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury under President George W. Bush, Weinberger will succeed Jim Turley, who announced previously that he would retire on June 30, 2013, Ernst & Young said in a statement on Tuesday.

And then this gem from the TARP days…

Yesterday’s appointment of Big 4 accounting firms PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young to oversee the $700 billion Wall Street bailout program is a slap in the face to the American taxpayer. PricewaterhouseCoopers has been appointed auditor for the bailout program under which Treasury will buy billions of dollars worth of preferred stock in a move to help recapitalize struggling banks. Ernst & Young will provide general accounting support.
