So they actually don't do fraud anymore. They are being honest, technically.
I thought they launched a crypto coin or something, so maybe they still do fraud.
well, it says they are not doing accounting fraud, so maybe they're still honest
Well, they might. You never know.
that's a name i haven't heard in a while
You'd think they would have rebranded.
Edit: Oh, they're dead and gone. Good, I thought some small portion had survived or something.
Enron was never the real issue anyways, The problem is still there. Still happening.
No no, the Heritage Foundation has been working hard to ensure the issue is gone. They have been filing lawsuits and forcing through legislation to ensure companies can't be held liable for fraud and corruption.
Thanks (in part) to them, we never have to worry about another company being caught doing shitty things and getting dismantled.
If the Banana Wars taught me anything, its a) don't underestimate American Fascists and b) don't underestimate the businesses that rely on them
Edit: and like speaking of the devil, there's Chiquita in the news for evil shit once again...
The folks who bought the Enron trademark/brand/whatever are a satire group that graduated into actually running a scam.
Originally when they started doing this Enron stuff, it was pretty funny. As I understand it, an unrelated group launched a cryptocurrency and scammed people using the name Enron that wasn't affiliated.
Then in Feburary, the satire group scammed people with their own crypto coin. If you are ironically doing a scam, you're still running a scam. Don't give "Enron" attention.

Coffeezilla video on situation
NGL, the Enron hoodie Coffezilla has on looks pretty nice. The satire peeps should have just stuck to selling Enron merch.
Whoaaaa Nitter is back??
Nitter has been back, sorry you just found out buddy. You can also use cancel.com. Check out LibRedirect, an (Firefox/Chrome, Mobile too) extension that automatically picks a proxy service for websites. You can do a ping test with the extension to see which servers aren't dead.
They don’t do jobs either, so there’s that.
