re: Anyone else dealing with DWDP splits and spinoffs?

No, my main gripe is with the creative accountants and tax attorneys at Dow and Dupont.

Having worked at one of these companies, I saw a lot of 'deals' that were nothing of the sort. Some cost the company treble damages after a judge tore us a new one.

"Too clever by half" is the phrase that fits.

And, no offense, but my opinion of accounting stands. Perhaps I should refine it to say "corporate accountants and their ilk."
