There are some interesting questions related to this discussion in the last paragraph of her piece in the Globe yesterday:
“But Mr. Winch isn’t making that mistake. As the great impresario plunged to Earth, he took a lot of people with him – and not just shareholders. “Think of the artists and musicians who never got paid,” says Mr. Winch, who reckons that his whistle-blowing cost him around $350,000. “Think of the small theatre companies that struggled to compete with these mega-musicals that weren’t founded on solid business but on fraud.”
