Trading did halt on it a couple of times, but those were
semi-automatic speed-humps that kicked in.
The biggest fallout over this won't directly affect just Olympus, but
will affect every corporation in Japan. Just as Enron gave us
Sarbanes-Oxley, Olympus will bring about some accounting laws which
will end up being another massive jobs bill. The company I worked for
had almost 10% of its entire workforce dedicated to Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance.
