Did the Buck Stop Anywhere at WorldCom?

The defense and prosecution have painted distinctly different portraits in the case against Bernard J. Ebbers, the former WorldCom chief executive accused of masterminding an $11 billion fraud that toppled his company in 2002.

So the jurors might be excused for having difficulty determining the "real" Mr. Ebbers as they begin deliberating today whether he is guilty of fraud, conspiracy and filing false claims with regulators.

If convicted, Mr. Ebbers, 63, could go to prison for the rest of his life.
