Hoffa once tried to sum up in four short sentences his career after he left school at the end of the seventh grade: "I got a job in a department store--stock boy. Then I got a job at Kroger's.

And, hmm, except for InterContinental Hotels, UBS has a business relationship with all of them...
With a series of crackdowns on stock manipulation, fraud and other forms of malfeasance, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has gotten tougher on corporate crime. But its latest ruling is a jaw-dropper: on May 10, the FSA announced it was suspending most operations at ChuoAoyama Pricewaterhouse Coopers, one of Japan's largest auditing firms, for two months, due to its failure to prevent accounting fraud at client company Kanebo, a textile and cosmetics firm since broken up in a government-led restructuring...
