Seems weird to tie it just to the Hong Kong office though. These guys are trading on the Ernst & Young name to get the positive reputation associated with it, why should the negative publicity not flow the other way?
They still have the name, so one can only surmise that Ernst & Young stands behind their actions.

at a minimum, this seems like something the HK gov should get involved in......

Aren't most audits a joke anyhow? I know companies 'have' to do them but I've never been a part of a good or accurate one (not just E&Y either). Most auditors are just looking to CYA and get the paper signed.
This is...a big deal? If Mozilla believes E&Y HK was negligent or complicit in WoSign's lies, then that newfound scepticism should extend to the office's financial audits.
