Well, if we look at Sasha Bouis' CV we might see why- he's worked for Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC,

On September 24, 2007, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission granted the registration of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") under the U.S. Credit Rating Agency Reform Act of 2006 (the "Act").**

Connections with Dyncorp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DynCorp

With the reductions in military spending in the 1990s, DynCorp expanded their focus to the growing tech market.[15] They bought 19 digital and network service firms, and acquired contracts with the government's information technology (IT) departments.[15] By 2003, roughly half of DynCorp's business came from managing the IT departments of the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, among others.[15] In 1999, DynCorp moved their headquarters to Reston, Virginia.

#Pedogate Dyncorp Child Trafficking as Rep. Cythia Mckinney grills Donald Rumsfeld

“Mr. Secretary, is it policy of the U.S. government to reward companies that traffic in women and little girls? That’s my first question.”

“My second question, Mr. Secretary, is, who has the contract today to make those systems communicate with each other? How long have they had those contracts? And how much have the taxpayers paid for them?”

McKinney’s question was answered by Ms. Tina Jonas, who refused to give names on the record. Ms Jonas served as the “chief financial officer and assistant director of the Finance Division,” of the FBI before she was “nominated by President Bush to be the undersecretary of defense at the Department of Defense.” She has also held leading positions in numerous private companies associated with aerospace and defense.

[Dyncorp] became heavily involved in the software industry in the 1990’s under the leadership of Paul Lombardi. In 2003, Dyncorp was acquired by “Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC),” primarily a software firm providing services such as: “various cloud offerings, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), private cloud solutions, CloudMail and Storage as a Service (SaaS).”

CSC has also been investigated for fraud, with Margaret Hodge describing it as a “rotten company providing a hopeless system.”

In addition to Moody's, the other two main credit rating agencies are Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.

All three are private companies, not government agencies. Moody's and Standard & Poor's both have their headquarters in New York, while Fitch has two official HQs, one in New York and the other in London.

They are an important tool for the manipulation of currencies and commerce in general. Investors around the world make decisions based on their assessment. Would stand to chance that there is an evil skeleton to the company.
