Anthony Scilipoti

And management starts sweating and say, why are you asking that?

I don't know.

You have your answer before you ask a question.

You know, they interviewed Andrew Fastow, who was the CFO of Enron.

And he's done many an interview on this.

Also, because when we do our training, we have a few of these interviews that we that we quote.

And it's companies don't start out as being crooked.

They have to convince someone to buy a product.

Okay.

Or a service.

So money comes in to the company in some fashion or time and then gets converted into something that adds value.

The problem becomes outside stakeholders come in and say, well, I need you to make X because you want my money.

Well, I'll give you my money so long as you give me this return.

Well, that works until there's a problem.

And now there's no CEO that wants to disappoint.

So it's very simple.

The CFO comes to talk to me.

I'm the CEO.

And he says, look, I know, Anthony, we were going to make a dollar, but we're coming in at 95 cents.

And I say to him, you get back to your room and find me five cents.
