Enron Investigation

The sudden collapse of Enron Corporation -- formerly the seventh-largest company in the country, with 2000 revenues of over $100 billion -- has raised a number of questions. Serious allegations of fraud and self-dealing have been made against Enron’s officers and directors, who reportedly sold over $1 billion worth of stock in the company from October 1998 through November 2001. Questions have also been raised about the company’s close relationship to the Bush Administration.
