Richard Scrushy told Bill Owens "everybody goes down," if the HealthSouth finance chief exposed problems in the company's financial statements, according to a tape recording played last week at the former CEO's trial in federal court, according to the Birmingham News. Owens, who was cooperating with the FBI, secretly taped the HealthSouth founder in March 2003, before a raid at the company's headquarters. Recordings were played for jurors during the twelfth day of testimony in Scrushy's trial on charges he participated in a conspiracy to fake $2.64 billion in profits from 1996 through most of 2002, reported the News.
