"I said, 'I don't think there's a problem. But if you think there's a
problem, let's all sit down in a room, bring in all the accountants,
open all the books, and if we can't justify every single dollar we
have spent, I will personally write a check to make it good.' "

Mr. Hansen said he made that offer repeatedly but no one took him up
on it. 

"If this is really solely about money, why won't they sit down with us
and go over the books?" he asked.

In my white-bread existence, when it doesn't pass the smell test, I
hold my nose up high.  I believe in the redemption of human life.  I
also believe in human nature.  A few years ago, there was an embezzler
in DFW who was doing it for drug money.  Of course, he too found
redemption.  Last I heard, he was going to marry his pharmacist
fiance.  His nose is a straw for redemption.
