Grammar and spelling errors
[edit]I was reading a slashdot discussion the numerous writing errors that exist on most on line work. That triggered me to read some of my post here (Something i rarely do) and couldn't help being ashamed. The only consolation was this post, a post that explain most of my errors. The only thing we disagree on is I am open to criticism. gathima 2 July 2005 16:02 (UTC)
Removal
[edit]I removed the following text because it lends negative bias to the article. Something is either legal or not, and is not barely legal due to the morals or ethics of the author.
- They allow a company to operate in a barely legal manner. For example, companies sometimes use special entities to employ workers without paying them benefits. This is the bone of the relationship between Walmart and Orientex Inc, an apparel company whose sole client is Walmart. Orientex is located in Torbay Road, Toronto.
Removed EDS SEC reference
[edit]The SEC questions regarding EDS are around the former CEO's statements and use of options on its own stock, not SPEs. So, I removed the EDS SEC reference.
Lehman Brothers and there use of SPVs
[edit]SPVs played a part in Lehman Brothers practices that triggered the 2008 GFC. I am surprised this is not included in the article? Duncnbiscuit (talk) 07:33, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
