The number of large US corporations currently under investigation by the US authorities reads like a roll-call of what used to be thought of as the great and the good. It includes Global Crossing (global fibre optic telecommunications networks), WorldCom (self-styled "pre-eminent global communications company for the digital generation"), Tyco, the conglomerate, AOL Time Warner, the entertainment giant, Halliburton, Qwest, Adelphia, the cable operator, and Enron, the energy trader that has filed for bankruptcy. Xerox, the copying company, has also restated $6.4bn of revenues dating back to 1997.
