WorldCom accounting scandal and bankruptcy
MCI's corporate successor, WorldCom, became involved in a major accounting scandal involving improperly recorded expenses. WorldCom filed for bankruptcy in 2002, and the reorganized company later adopted the MCI Inc. name. The episode damaged the WorldCom identity and led to a return to the better-established MCI name.
