I don't think anyone is denying that the WorldCom problem is a serious
problem. People all over the world have been discussing in great
detail, and certainly WorldCom's future should be of great concern to
those involved with the Internet.
I think Steven is pointing out, that no where have you pointed out
that Vint was involved with the accounting practices, and I imagine
you will not be able to find any evidence to support this ludicrous
claim -- it certainly is not in the article mentioned above.
The problems WorldCom faces are accounting problems -- and Vint, being
on the technical side of the company would have had no input into
these types of practices. Furthermore, over the last 30+ Vint has
repeatedly proven himself to be capable, honest, and intelligent in
his dealings with the Internet community. Qualities which I am sure
he practices in his business life as well.
Certainly things are looking bad for WorldCom, and WorldCom employees,
and there is a strong argument to be made that WorldCom employees were
betrayed by some of their leaders. But saying that all WorldCom
leaders are corrupt is a ridiculous statement, and one that you have
no evidence to back up -- again, at least none that you have presented
to this forum.
So, the answer to the question in the subject of your message is
simply: No. Vint Cerf is not involved in the fraud committed by
some WorldCom leaders.
