Hello all,
I am not sure what teejay’s comment was but I will add some to this debate.
It appears that Enron execs did indeed ‘cook the books’ in an attempt to hide the financial state of the company primarily to sell off their stock before the crash. In this case the accountants and managers in charge will be, and should be, tried for fraud.
The Bush connection is basically non-existant. Enron did donate to both republicans and democrats however when Enron went to the government looking for a bailout both parties balked and left them in their lurch. A case for corruption or favoritism would be stronger if Bush or the republicans actually did anything to help Enron out.
