Although this kind of fraudulent reporting was not new, the sheer volume of the fraud set new records. By failing to record expenses, WorldCom overstated its income and assets by about $11 billion (not $11 million, but $11 billion!). Estimates of investor losses from the resulting bankruptcy exceeded $100 billion. How was the fraud accomplished? When WorldCom used the telecommunication lines of another company, it paid a fee.
