Partnoy was right on the mark. And thank you, Mark, for presenting that very informative post. Indeed such set-up transactions are legal and happen all the time. But I suppose I should clarify my question. If seasoned investors know that anything set up in the Caymens should raise a red flag, certainly so should top executives? Someone at Enron, certainly at Anderson, should have picked up on this. So: Who thought up the idea, who let it happen and why? I guess it all goes back to my baseball metaphor where we see the great base stealer and his coach who doesn't have to give a signal, knowing the runner his gonna steal the base anyway.
