There's been a lot of talk back home ... about a lack of transparency, and a mountain of unsustainable debt. I don't know why that is. Envy, maybe? Hypocrisy, certainly. I don't think what went on at Enron and Northern Rock and Lehman's was very transparent.
It is a new management mantra that is being marketed by the Indian Institute of Management-Indore. Full Article at Indian Express
Former press baron Conrad Black is claiming that the honest services fraud law was misused by prosecutors. Full Article at Guardian Unlimited

Although our settlement with Enron called for significant consumer restitution, we expected to receive only pennies on the dollar due to the company's bankruptcy ... In the end, we were able to recover nearly half of the $22.5 million we were owed under the settlement. That's more than anyone expected.
How fitting that Enron will pay to provide warmth to low-income families and to help Washington residents make their homes more energy-efficient ... These programs are especially needed in today's economy and will benefit those least able to bear the burden of higher power bills.
If a team of journalists and Greenpeace managed to track down India’s most wanted man in a matter of days, how seriously have the U.S. authorities tried to find him in all these years?

Unusually, there were no wins for west end commercial theatre or the Nat...
I'm disappointed my colleagues voted for a bill that will bust the budget, increase taxes, coerce taxpayers into funding abortion, and grant politicians and bureaucrats the power to ration and deny medically necessary care. The accounting tricks in this bill would make Bernie Madoff and Enron executives...
I saw Enron last week and the idea that a Tory patsy running the London Arts Council would find money to fund a play like Enron – forget it.
In 2002, in the midst of the tech bust and Enron corporate scandal, Democrats publicly flogged Republicans for not supporting the reforms Democrats are now working to undo ... It seems outrageous that the Democrats in Congress and the White House are working so hard to use the current crisis to now undo...
It’s one thing for India to impose restrictions upon foreign multinationals like Enron or IBM ... but it’s harder for the Indian government to hobble its own multinationals. I think this is a qualitative change.
Enron, WorldCom were clearly illegal activity
Maccabi is probably one of the top five brands in Israel. … But Enron was a huge as well
Krugman was one of the first to argue that deregulation of the California energy market had led to illegal market-manipulation by Enron and other energy companies.

She actually questioned his understanding of the difference between fiscal and monetary policy. She had the audacity to attack a Congressman who used to be an economist. She's a career lobbyist who...
This was several month ago, but you can look it up, the lobbyist who was the head lobbyist for Enron was hired with our taxpayer money to try and spend this office effort to try and get transparency at the Federal Reserve.

the whole Enron-Tyco-Martha Stewart debacle, when everyone was gnashing their teeth and saying, we need more regulation, we can't let this happen ever again. And it's only taken us six years to go through another boom and bust cycle. The good news is I can reissue this book every six years.
I think they wanted to kill everybody. I have no doubt whatsoever there was an intense bias against the management of Enron.
