OT Enron Demystified You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so you get all four cows back with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholders who sell the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option to buy one more.

Table mis-dated for 2000 Qtr. 4 data(?). Looks like Dell bumped IBM from the top spot and Compaq went from the #4 to #2 position(year over year, Qtr.4 data).
