Alleged Enron Shredding -2: May Have Happened In January
"In October 2001 the company issued several directives to all Enron employees worldwide that all relevant documents should be preserved in light of pending litigation," Bennett added. "If anyone violated those directives, they will be dealt with appropriately."
LOL! They will be flown via EnronJet to their new residence on Grand Cayman as a punishment.

WASHINGTON (AP)--Enron is looking into the reported destruction of documents that allegedly took place at its Houston headquarters after the federal government began investigating the company, an attorney for the bankrupt energy giant said Monday night.
In an on-air interview with ABC News, a former Enron executive, identified as Maureen Castaneda, said the shredding of documents took place in an accounting office on the 19th floor.
Castaneda displayed one box of the shredded material which "I got ... when I was leaving work to basically use ... for packing material.
"There were ... a lot more than this," she said, standing next to the box. She said some of the shredding may have occurred as recently as this month.
Castaneda said the destruction began after Thanksgiving and continued to at least last week.
The Securities and Exchange Commission began looking into Enron in mid-October.
"We are investigating the circumstances of the reported destruction of documents," Washington attorney Robert Bennett, who is representing Enron, said in a statement.
"In October 2001 the company issued several directives to all Enron employees worldwide that all relevant documents should be preserved in light of pending litigation," Bennett added. "If anyone violated those directives, they will be dealt with appropriately." |
