IndyMac -- Why Not Backdate Life Itself?

The story about IndyMac is about backdating.

I’m going to backdate my life.

I did date Marilyn Monroe in high school.

I was born October 30, 1949, not 1939.

I did take Mergers & Acquisitions at Harvard Law School instead of Professor Vorenberg’s easier version.

I did tell John Egbert I would like to do labor law at Frost & Jacobs, and switch from the general litigation section under Jim Headley.

Dorchow -- Remember That Name

A key backdating allowed. So why was he kept on at the Office of Thrift Supervision, after he did the same type of thing in the savings and loan scandal?
