He does not seem motivated to get to the truth, only to fulfill the simplest demands of the audit and go home. His answers on this zoom call were unnecessarily long winded. I do give him credit for appearing and answering questions as well Philip Stark. If they were really just about doing a whitewash, there was no need for them to subject themselves to the questions.

But Tom Murray (who came on around 1:40) got right to the chase - the auditors had all the power to control the audit but instead they let the AG and others insert themselves into the audit and control it. The auditors ceded their responsibilities to others. Why? They were either weak or indifferent or corrupt. I suspect a combination of the first two and not the latter.
