Re: Sticking it to his old bosses?

Didn't a previous report state that KPMG were given limited time for their assessment? I can understand that someone wants to limit the amount of fees that KPMG is trying to drag out of this deal, but you do that by setting boundaries so you contain the risk in doing so. All that has happened now is that KPMG has ended up with a golden get-out-of-jail card for failed due diligence*.

* Not that I fully believe that, differences of that magnitude tend to show in multiple ways
