Jeff Skilling, Ken Lay, Andy Fastow: Where they really that smart? Sure they were able to pull off the biggest corporate crime in American history. Yes they rode the great wave for a number of years and top executives cashed out with millions of dollars. And yeah, I would have to agree that they had some creative ideas to fool the world. But in the end, they failed to sustain that perception that Enron was really profitable corporation. If you’re going to try and fuck with the system, make sure that you at least don’t get discovered. I guess they weren’t that smart after all!
With thousands of lives effected and billions of dollars lost, these executives and those involve deserve to rot in jail. For those who want advice on what not to do in the business world and what kind of leader to not be. Watch the documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. It’s disturbing and yet very educational.
