The Enron Scandal

January 30, 2002 | ISSUE 38•03

Enron, which went bankrupt amid charges of document shredding, shady accounting, and executive greed, is the subject of a House hearing. What do you think?

  • Whoever is responsible for this scandal should be a man and step forward for a very short sentence in a very posh jail.

    Donna Clarke
    Librarian

  • Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that 463-hour hearing.

    Chris Anderson
    Mailroom Clerk

  • This marks the end of an era of innocence for our nation's massive energy concerns.

    Buddy Jessup
    Landscaper

  • Serves those employees right for buying into something as shady as a corporate 401(k) plan.

    Frederick Voss
    Lawyer

  • It's bad, but it's not worth killing yourself over. Unless you're a former senior executive with inside knowledge of the company's crimes, that is.

    Robert Rossum
    Systems Analyst

  • The government is going to take a half-hearted stab at bringing those responsible to justice, right? Good.
