I can make my own spreadsheet that says I have 15 donals bp's...doesn't mean they exist.
And when you check your savings account, the number there doesn't necessarily mean that's how much money you have in the account right? Of course not, short of an exceedingly rare error your bank statement will be accurate down to the penny.

My point, which I suspect you missed, was not that a spreadsheet proves anything. My point was that an accounting system exists and that any fraud would undoubtedly be uncovered in due time. We have enough angry ex-TMO who had access, we have more than a few upstanding citizens, and we have enough traffic on the sheet that any systemic discrepancies would quickly disintegrate.

The spread sheet proves nothing. The FIFO system and detailed inquiries by our membership ensures that shenanigans, if any occur, are kept to minimal levels.

No. TMO owes no duty to do such a thing. Should an investigation be opened, the leadership would undoubtedly fully cooperate. Further, I suspect that any such information would be of limited value to the server staff, and even if we furnished it, I suspect they'd not want to waste their time on a witch hunt.
