I think this gets more and more downright scary. I can’t for my life understand how ANYONE would want to have business with Chrysler. Every inch of my body screams “Run Forest, run!”. My advice to all involved is to get the hell out of there, and fast! You can’t deal with these people…

Arthur Andersen? They’re not licensed to do audits anymore, but maybe they do “reviews”.

So, which CPA firm did this financial review? More importantly, “review” is a term of art. If he’s using it as one, no supplier should be satisfied with a review. For a company that acts like the black hole of information, what they should get is an “audit”.

If it’s an internal review, it holds as much water the leaky sunroof on a Dodge Journey.

This is a head scratcher. Unless the suppliers are as delusional or stupid, they need to be spending every waking minute finding new customers. The wisdom of spending time with Chrysler is lost on me.

“We did a complete financial review, balance sheet, earnings performance, you name it, we covered it”

In lieu of payment, each supplier went home with a shiny new Dodge Ram and a DVD of the horse head scene from The Godfather.
