Global Crossing swapped network capacity with other carriers to book revenue
Global Crossing · Telecoms (listed)
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Bank credits vs books
Would have shown swap 'revenue' with little net cash.
Can mislead when: AA only sees the accounts the company links, so an undisclosed account stays invisible. Cash-heavy businesses and timing differences create false flags.
Third-party confirmation
Would have confirmed the swap terms with counterparties.
Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.
Unit economics & burn
Would have set valuation against unit economics.
Can mislead when: Cost allocation is a judgement call. Kubr shows its assumptions and lets the user change them.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
