Now you know how I feel when I audit corporations that lie.  It is not just
an example of the market increasing profits or feeling jealous of the
winners.  These frauds do a lot of damage and hurt other people.  They make
their gains at the expense of the company, the workers and the system.
Cheating goes beyond competitiveness.  It actually destroys value, defrauds
the customers (in this case the government), and is criminal behavior.  Such
activities are the antithesis of the free-market system.
