The Bounce Brothers tried that very thing with Drakeford and that didn't work out so well. D&T wanted no part of SPNG; after all, they do have a reputation to protect. So, the Bounce Brothers go all the way to Utah to get an auditor for a NY City firm. I'm sure that was the next best firm available after D&T. lololol
OF course, do we really know if RH was actually hired and paid? There certainly is no product produced by these erstwhile auditors, is there? Are they still on the job, or did they bail, too?
If Metter was dirty he would hire some slimeball scummy auditor who would sell his mother for a buck and would be happy to have done expidited work for a large "look the other way" fee.
I am sure New York City has some smaller audit firms that would have signed off on a 10k in a hurry for big bucks.
