  1. A good reminder the problem isn't just one company is lying but every company's numbers are a mystery and there are many ways and reasons that lying about those numbers has become a necessity for most to compete. It's not just individual fraud; we live in a fraud ecosystem. michellemanafy/1442460768381898755

      I have no sympathy for fraudsters, but I can also see a direct line from a company looking at impossible numbers for most of its competitors, to lying about their own numbers, to committing fraud by impersonating another person on an investment call.

        We are surrounded by numerical unreality in the digital media business's mostly unverifiable self reporting and it increasingly seems that few have the moral fortitude to not participate.
