<p>(BIGspitNEWS) GE&#8217;s former leading money maker, CEO and book writer evades being tarred with remainder of existing current and former top employees for SEC revealed &#8220;trick handling&#8221; of profit reporting from 2001 &#8211; 2007, because of various &#8220;financial accounting tricks&#8221; that helped GE beat analyists quarterly targets during years that would have otherwise not been so rosy.</p>
<p>&#8220;With the $50,000,000.00 fine we expect no further recurrances of these &#8216;accounting tricks&#8217; &#8220; an unnamed inside source was quoted as saying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(WNnews) Maybe as many as one million customers in the US and Canada were double-billed for credit and debit purchases over the American long weekend.</p>
<p>Starbucks has been working to credit all customers and reportedly apologizes for the error not coming to light <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">later</span> earlier.</p>
<p>Well, it was a winning submission in the company&#8217;s &#8220;How to increase sales&#8221; contest for employees. No reports as to what the prize winner received although we think it might be as much as 5 years in prison.</p>
