I hope Mr. Kolchinsky takes 'em to the woodshed. Companies do no need "yes" men and women. They need people to speak the truth.

Off with their heads! Moody's is in the top 5 causes of the recession with #1 & #2 being US Congress and Federal Reserve,and Moody's fraud could easily rank #3. It was their over inflated ratings in the credit market that let this economic nightmare occur.
