SCAM KINGS: The ENRON Story
Ask why. WHY did ENRON, the USA’s 7th largest corporation declare bankruptcy in a matter of months? WHY did the higher ups walk away with millions while the average worker lost their pensions? WHY did California experience an unprecedented series of rolling blackouts despite producing more than enough electricity to power the state? WHY has the word ENRON become synonymous with white collar crime? And WHY did only, like, two guys go to jail?In the two years we’ve maintained this podcast, we’ve covered the biographies of dead people, dead tigers and gorillas, even dead theme parks. And today we take our first foray into the life and painful death of a corporation.Watch in video at: https://www.youtube.com/@RespecttheDeadPodcastWant an exclusive video episode about ENRON?
