ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vivien v. Worldcom

Vivien is like a little girl who works hard to save her money in a piggy bank. Worldcom is like a big company who takes care of many people's money. One day, Worldcom did something very bad called "fraud". This means they lied about how much money they had and what they were doing with it. Vivien and many other people lost their money because of Worldcom's lying. Vivien had to go to court, which is like a big grown-up place where people in charge decide who is right and wrong. The court said that Worldcom was wrong and had to pay back the money they took from Vivien and others. This way, Vivien and the others could get their money back and feel safe with their piggy banks again.
