Talk:Enron/Archives/2014

Where was Clinton?

There is no evidence of any political intervention aiding Enron with its transgressions or the convictions that followed. However, there is guilt by association in several of these comments and the previously mentioned documentary on Enron. Specifically there are mentions of the Bush family. And in other publications there are mentions of meetings between Enron and Dick Cheney. W. Bush was in office just over a year when Enron collapsed. H.W. Bush was defeated in '92. Which means the bulk of Enron's mischiefs were committed during the Clinton Administration. Its more than curious that there is no mention of this or Clinton's treasury secretaries nor the men he appointed as SEC commissioner during this time. Did they turn a blind eye to the early warning signs? Clinton was riding on the resurgent US economy, which was fueled in no small fashion by the surge on Wall Street in both the traditional and newly minted tech stocks. Maybe those warning signs were a bit too politically bothersome to pay much attention to. That last paragraph is reprehensible. Its written only to caution those who might be easy prey for similar elaborations about other so called political connections. The evidence shows that only those at Enron are responsible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.244.84 (talk) 20:57, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Mention of Goldman Sachs ?

Why isn't Goldman Sachs mentioned on the list of exposed banks? As noted in the documentary "Smartest Guys In The Room", GoldMan Sachs played an instrumental role helping Enron shift money around. They helped Enron buy an offshore oil rig to offset some of the fallout from the California brownouts. --Azadi { (talk) 18:12, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
