Investigations into accounting problems at Adelphia Communications are turning up a far broader number of questionable transactions between the company and its controlling family than had been apparent at first, an executive close to the situation said yesterday.

Financial intrigue at Adelphia over deals for hockey teams, golf courses, and more. The execs are taking this seriously -- they've brought David Boies onto their legal team. But no one is going to buy them or bail them out. The firm will soon be delisted, and from there the bankruptcy filing is only a matter of time.
