2. Research on one financial scandal
- The Adelphia Communications Corporation was marked as the fifth largest cable company in the United States before it filed for bankruptcy in April of 2002. Founded by John Rigas, Three Rigas family members (incuding John Rigas) and two other ex-executives have been arrested for fraud. The Rigas family collected $3.1 billion in off-balance-sheet loans backed by Adelphia and overstated the results by inflating capital expenses and hiding debt. The company is suing the entire Rigas family for $1 billion for breach of fiduciary duties, among other things.
