    Sadly this is not about journalists, but about ‘independent’ accountants, and it is now done at scale, but yes it has been done before it just leads to bad places.

      Ah yes, i thought you were commenting on the verge repeating the claim. When I think about Arthur Andersen’s involvement in the collapses of enron & worldcom I do vaguely remember it came out that they had a hilarious dress code but I guess didn’t have any rules against rampant corruption.

        Ah bikeshedding, dresscodes are easy, preventing corruption is hard, so lot more attention will be paid to dresscodes.
