Bernard John Ebbers (August 27, 1941 – February 2, 2020) was a Canadian businessman who was the co-founder and CEO of WorldCom. Under his management WorldCom grew rapidly only to collapse in 2002 amid revelations of accounting irregularities. Ebbers was convicted of fraud and conspiracy in the accounting scheme.
The WorldCom scandal was, until the Madoff schemes came to light in 2008, the largest accounting scandal in United States history. In December 2019, he was released from Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Worth, having served 13 years of his 25-year sentence. In 2013, Portfolio.com and CNBC named Ebbers as the fifth-worst CEO in American history. In 2009, Time named him the tenth most corrupt CEO of all time.
