| dbo:abstract | Bernard John Ebbers (August 27, 1941 – February 2, 2020) was a Canadian businessman, the co-founder and CEO of WorldCom and a convicted fraudster. Under his management, WorldCom grew rapidly but collapsed in 2002 amid revelations of accounting irregularities, making it at the time one of the largest accounting scandals in the United States. Ebbers blamed his subordinates but was convicted of fraud and conspiracy. In December 2019, Ebbers was released from Federal Medical Center, Fort Worth, due to declining health, having served 13 years of his 25-year sentence, and he died just over a month later. In 2013, Portfolio.com and CNBC named Ebbers as the 5th-worst CEO in American history. In 2009, Time named him the 10th most corrupt CEO of all time. Dubbed the "Telecom Cowboy," Ebbers often wore boots and blue jeans instead of the typical corporate uniform of a suit and tie. He also lived on a farm and loved to drive a tractor.

Il fut condamné pour la faillite de la société à 25 ans de prison aux États-Unis. C'est la plus grande faillite de l'histoire des États-Unis avec 41 milliards de dettes alors qu'il avait déclaré 11 milliards de revenus totalement fictifs en plus d'erreurs comptables.

(es) Bernard John Ebbers, mer känd som Bernie Ebbers, född 27 augusti 1941 i Edmonton, Alberta, död 2 februari 2020 i Brookhaven, Mississippi, var en kanadensisk-amerikansk affärsman. Han var med och startade företaget Worldcom samt var under några år även VD. Worldcom gick i konkurs under skandalartade former, så som USA:s hittills största. Ebbers dömdes till 25 års fängelse för sin roll i den jättesvindel på 11 miljarder dollar som ledde till att hans telekomimperium rasade samman.Innan börsbubblan sprack var han en av USA:s mest uppburna företagsledare. Ebbers nekar till att ha haft något inflytande över bedrägeriet, som han menar ska ha begåtts av underlydande inom Worldcom utom hans vetskap. Under rättegången fällde han kommentaren: "I know what I don’t know. And to this day I don’t know engineering and I don’t know finance and accounting". Tillsammans med Enronskandalen året före, utgör Worldcom det mest spektakulära bluffen, baserat på ett massivt bedrägeri på bekostnad av aktieägare och anställda.Ebbers var symbolen för den amerikanska drömmen om klättringen till framgång och rikedom. Efter konkursen personifierar han nu bara girighet. I september 2006 inställde han sig vid ett säkerhetsfängelse med lägsta säkerhetsklass i Oakdale, Louisiana. Ebbers ägde 45% av ishockeylaget Jackson Bandits i East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) mellan 1999 och 2002.

Bernard "Bernie" Ebbers) (27 августа 1941, Эдмонтон, Канада — 2 февраля 2020) — американский бизнесмен и преступник канадского происхождения. Эбберс — соучредитель и бывший генеральный директор телекоммуникационной компании WorldCom. В 2005 году Эбберс был осужден за мошенничество и соучастие в преступлении в результате ложной финансовой отчетности WorldCom. Скандал WorldComа стал вторым, после аферы Мейдоффа громким бухгалтерским скандалом в американской истории. Эбберс отбывал 25-летний тюремный срок в Оукдейлском Федеральном Исправительном Комплексе в Луизиане до 2019. В 2013 году Portfolio.com и CNBC признали Эбберсса одним из худших генеральных директоров в американской истории. В 2009 году Time назвала Эбберса десятым самым коррумпированным генеральным директором за всё время. (ru) |
