Once considered one of America's most innovative companies, the Enron Corporation is now known as one of the country's biggest frauds. History will remember it not only for the jobs, stock value, and pension funds it destroyed, but also for the shocking revelations of the deception executed by one of the country's biggest, most prestigious companies and the men running it, who couldn't see past their own greed. (Or if they could see past it, simply didn't care.)The Enron story captured America's attention because of its scale and impact, as well as the astounding duplicity of its top leaders. The Houston-based energy company continued to project an image of strength and success long after insiders had begun to unload their own stock in anticipation of the company's failure. In January 2001, less than twelve months before the company filed for bankruptcy, it threw a lavish party, with free-flowing liquor and champagne, free cigars for the taking, high stakes poker tables, and a company-sponsored car race. How could anybody know there was something wrong? One of the world's most successful companies by any account, Enron was simply celebrating its success.
