What it does
WorldCom was a telecommunications company that expanded through acquisitions and filed for Chapter 11 in July 2002 after accounting fraud was disclosed. It emerged in April 2004 as MCI, Inc.
This entry covers WorldCom and the reorganized MCI, Inc., not the separate MCI Communications business WorldCom acquired in 1998. The linked SEC records are historical primary documents, not a current company-operated website.
WorldCom grew through telecom acquisitions, then concealed deteriorating economics by turning operating expenses into assets. The full history connects the executives’ accounting decisions, Cynthia Cooper’s audit, bankruptcy, criminal cases and the different meanings of investor recovery.
