I readily admit that having been a CPA for decades, I am biased as to what a company that is supposed to be rendering honest, consistent, services and opinions as to the shape or condition of something they were hired to put forth their opinion on. Based on what I am used to seeing and dealing with as a CPA, the entire TPG industry is a blatant joke when it comes to even trying to look like they are doing what they should be doing.

Well said and I 100% agree.

From a business standpoint - 1) They can apparently get away with it and 2) They are trying to drive additional business to their sister company

Isn't something similar on a larger scale what Fanatics is planning?
