ken norton has an awesome story about his own amazing experience seeing enron up close before the bust. if you saw the enron documentary, 'smartest guys', you will really appreciate this. i only hope they lock these guys up, throw away the key and that enron alumni aren't lauded in 10 years for their acts of philanthropy (with stolen money) and brilliant financial engineering (read crimes) like the drexel burnham alum today. anyone remember the puff piece in the nytimes about what great citizens and business people we've seen out of drexel like gary winnick and how the firm was just the victim of over zealous regulators. these stories write themselves.
