Has anyone seen "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"?
It does an excellent job of explaining the rise and fall.

Ken Lay has his attorney's on a $23 million retainer.

Jeff Skilling has been doing volunteer work for Habitat For Humanity.

:rofl:

4. I saw it, and as noted in this thread, it really pissed me off
Especially as someone who lives in California.

Strangely enough, I am now making my living partly off companies who need to comply with the additional laws that were passed as a result of the Enron debacle.

That's a great movie.

6. I thought it did a great job explaining exactly what happened
in California. Do you know if any of the traders they had on tape have been charged with anything?

Ordered it from Amazon. I'm going to cook up some dinner and eat before I watch it...I have a feeling I won't have much of an appetite afterwards. :)
