Enron Notes: Cliff Baxter committed suicide when Enron went bankrupt. -Manic Depressive Trial and questions occur They bring out the books to see what was really going on Money was funneling to “Mr. m yass”- My Ass haha The theory that if you are smart enough than you can do anything Greed and no matter who you stepped on you got more money Free markets were turned into an ideology Jeff Skilling- I am Enron Re made himself from a nerd to someone who worked out and changed his personality Tragic figure. Huge HUGE risk taker. He took small group of friends and some customers on wild adventures to make them feel good as men. These stories became legendary in Enron and fed the whole “mocho” feel of the place. Men with Spikes -Ken Rice -Sales man Lou Pie
Love me, Love me Enron stocks going up like crazy. Biggest bull market in the history of the world Mounted a campaign to capture stock traders “Pump and dump” Ceo’s would pump up their stock and when they got high they would sell Built power plant in India Failed to see that India couldn’t afford to pay for the power that Enron produced Lost a billion because of this yet they still paid multi million dollars bonuses to executives based on imaginary profits that never arrived Purchased PGE PGE employees then took all their money into their 401k and savings because they saw how much Enron’s stock was increasing and making money. Love for sale Any analyst who didn’t have money in Enron became an enemy of Enron John Olstist- One of the only analyst who was skeptical about Enron Meryl Lynch Fired John, and then were rewarded by Enron with basically 1 billion dollars -Enron got into broadband Someone found something wrong in the financial statements that all the analysts had missed No one who was supposed to say no said no. They just took their money and kept their mouth shut Author and Anderson, received 1 million dollars a week Everyone lied about knowing about the transactions in trials
