Hey Diane,

I was reviewing the figures for our annual report and I noticed something was off. In the revenue report it seemed as though figures from last year were being carried over as savings, but as far as I know those assets are spent. Am I missing something, or should we do some revisions before this goes out?

Hello Caroline,

I've reviewed the figures and they seem to be in alignment with what I approved. Double check yourself, if it's still not working we can schedule a meeting to work this out.

Hey again,

I've double and triple checked things and I've noticed additional irregularities with the ones I noted previously. The investors from S&C Plastics, did our department vet them? It doesn't seem like the funds they agreed to pay us have actually been dispersed anywhere but on paper. Please respond ASAP

Securities and Credit Panic
S&C Plastics Investment Group Meltdown Burns Wall Street

New York City, NY: The S&P 500 dropped over 500 points today amid the S&C Plastics investment consortium collapsing overnight. There had been recent rumors of the company's investments under-performing, but investors had been expecting a possible liquidation of Soap From Corpses Products or Sunny Cloudless Panels LLC.

The news of S&C's bankruptcy sent shockwaves through the markets as investors panicked to unload their shares. It is not clear how many corporations S&C was involved in, and many public companies with the "SCP" naming motif with no other relations to the bankruptcy have suffered losses and even several additional closures.

It all began last night when Spicy Crust Pizza announced a restructuring of their past five years' earnings two minutes before the trading bell ended activity for the day. Shortly after, Somber Cremations and Pallbearers issued a similar statement, followed by Satellite Cable Productions.

Trading was only open for two minutes today before S&C made their shocking filing. As the string of bankruptcies shows no signs of slowing down, investors can only ask: when is it going to end?
