"The obvious huge involvement of Wall Street -- brokers, investment bankers,
analysts and commercial bankers -- in the mess can only further eviscerate
whatever investor illusions remain and deepen mistrust. "More than any fresh government
regulation or self-imposed strictures by
corporations and accountants,that's likely to be
the most exacting legacy of the Enron affair.
And since we don't think Enron is going away anytime
soon, it's an inhibiting legacy that's likely
to be with us for quite a spell."
Ron, To put it mildly it would seem that everyone in
high places has been corrupted by Ken Lay's money.
I am concered with Pitt at the SEC. People here must
realize that he may have a conflict of interest and
should remove himself from the Enron case.
In an article I posted last night I noticed that an
Enron employee had sought legal help from the firm
in New York where Pitt worked.

"Last night, SALON.com reported that an ENRON corporate lawyer, Jordan Mintz, last summer hired a New York law firm, Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson,
to take another look at the company's financial
structure. Fried Frank, where the
S.E.C. CHAIRMAN, HARVEY L. PITT, worked until
last fall, recommended that Enron end
its deals with the partnerships. There was no
response to a message left last night at
Mr. Mintz's home in Houston" |
