What company in their right mind would hire these clowns after their negligence from Andersen and now Huron?

Oh great. From the company's website profile on the CEO, Gary Holdren:
"Under Gary’s stewardship, Huron Consulting Group is on the 2016 Chicago Olympic Organizing Committee ..."

Todd if you knew anything about the professional accounting world you would know that Huron was formed as a consulting firm and the Andersen negligence stemmed from their accounting practice. Two branches of a massively large firm that did not overlap. Nice try though.

Yes, a handful of potentially shady partners made poor decisions, yet thousands of people lost their jobs. Moreover, even the courts have come back to acknowledge that they unjustly prosecuted the firm.

My friend, please get over yourself.

Mr. Holdren nobly stepped aside and takes the heat after cashing out millions of $s in stock transactions over the last few months, I'm sure a complete coincidence

Actually, many of the partners at Andersen in charge of accounting preactices also led the consulting groups for those areas. Regardless, an attitude of arrogance and attitude that they could do whatever they wanted ran across the partner ranks, both accounting and consulting

Hi All –

Thought I’d provide a quick link for any investors reading this piece – I work for a law firm that’s investigating Huron on behalf of investors.

You can learn more about the investigation here – www.hbsslaw.com/huron . HBSS is looking into possible issues with over-reported earnings, kickbacks to company insiders, and how and when the company notified shareholders.
