Why I Did Not Go To Jail

God talks. You are a retard nigger.

I have higher authority than police.

I tell police to jump and they say "How high"

So the moral of the story is don't buy into accounting gimmicks that you don't /can't understand.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

On another note:

Holy shit Terry is back with a new account.

I've missed you Terry!

Just as it's hard to tell if someone's a good coder without yourself being a good coder, it's hard to tell if an attorney or financial expert is giving you good advice without seeking for yourself a basic understanding of the legal or financial issues. A good attorney or financial expert will help you understand the issues enough for yourself to see why their evaluation makes sense. It's not good enough to just completely outsource responsibility to someone else.

Always do and trust own analysis (with an attorney or expert you trust when needed) instead of falling for the lure of "it's fine with these other experts so it should be fine for us." That's a recipe for a herd mentality random walk through and across the gray areas of the matter.

Just curious. Suppose you did your due diligence, asked your general counsel, and they said, "It's within the law, go for it." Then, acting on their advice, you did the same thing this person did. Would you go to jail for the same amount of time in both cases?

E: Name removed to protect the accused, although it's thin protection indeed considering her name is disclosed elsewhere in this thread.

At a minimum, professionalism.
