Edge Pushing Video Game Maker May Have Pushed Accounting Edges
from the rules?--we-don't-need-no-stinking-rules... dept
Take-Two Interactive, known for making video games that push the edges of taste (such as Grand Theft Auto), may also have been pushing the edges of accounting laws. The SEC is getting ready to charge them with accounting violations. How long until they come out with a new game that includes random indiscriminate killing of SEC agents?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

TTWO Not Following the Standard Script
I was hoping they would start going out and suing their customers, which seems to be the latest craze.
In seriousness, I think this is actually a continuation of a previous investigation, and not anything new. The SEC found some shaky business going on at the company, and decided to look into it. They then found more evidence of shaky business practices, and decided to file an official complaint against the company. It is the same deal they got caught for last time, and they went back and restated their earnings and apologized, now the SEC is finally getting around to prosecuting the crime they already "fixed" and apologized for. Nothing to see here, move along.
