To be honest, the recently announced shifting of accounting away from WotC and to Hasbro only makes business sense. In something that can be electronically transmitted, there is no real "moving" cost when it comes to assigning additional responsibilities to an existing department. Given that, it doesn't make a lot of sense to employ enough people to have duplicate functions.

Emiricol,
Don't feel bad. At least you asked someone to check out the rumor as opposed to presenting it as fact.
As for accounting being transferred to Rhode Island, maybe it will help the Hasbro execs to have a better feel of how much WoTC contributes to the total bottom line.
My advice, when in doubt, check it out.

Except that, if a sale were in the works, probably Anthony wouldn't know about it. Having done several dozen mergers and acqusitions, several with publically traded companies, I can say with confidence that it is highly unlikely anyone in the WOTC subsidiary other than in-house counsel (if they even have one) or one person available for due-diligence would even know about it. In fact, it would be bad policy if they did know about it, due to the quiet-period restrictions placed on a public company. It would all happen at higher levels in Hasbro, and they may even have all the documents necessary to do due dil. out of the Hasbro offices without the Washington Office even needing a visit.
So the real question is, which law office represented Hasbro when they bought WOTC? And, is there an in-house counsel person on staff in Washington?

This just in.....
WOTC has been bought by I repeat Bought by a Redneck millionaire named bob, or bart or something and he is planning on writing a setting called the Holy Lands which will try and put a "holy" light on D&D 3e.
Partnering up with him is a Scientist, one Der Shlimpet Von Oats, Who will be writing some source material for the Holy Lands about Evolution, and will describe the Big Bang as an Epic level bodily function of God after he ate to much in the beano department.
UPDATE;
WOTC will not be bought by bob or bart, or betty or whattever his name is due to his sudden death, Currently their is an APB out on one Der Shlimpet Von Oats for the murder of the millionaire whose name starts with a B by Quaker oatmeal torture.
I would think if anyone were to buy WOTC it would be WW or more aptly S&S
