All three major points in that quote are erroneous. That means wrong, a lie. The record reflects the opposite of what is stated there. Next time, check your source.

>>scrapped plans put into place by former President Bill Clinton to limit the ability of corporations to effectively use these offshore havens."> THat is a hoot. Clinton had no such "plans". His guys circumvented the law that already existed to prevent what his regime allowed Enron to do. Besides, that's like locking the barn door after the horses have escaped. The damage was already done. Enron was already toast.

btw, that press release is a lie that has been debunked by reputable news organizations. Gramm played no role in helping Enron in that matter. THe Naderite org apparently made it up. Message 17022458

MSI, re:"plans put into place by former President Bill Clinton to limit the ability of corporations to effectively use these offshore havens" About those Offshore accounts... from the Enron website: "LJM Cayman, L.P. ("LJM1") and LJM2 Co-Investment, L.P. ("LJM2")...limited partnerships that were formed in 1999. JEDI L.P. was formed in 1993 (a joint partnership between Enron and Calpers) My understanding, is that the earnings that Enron restated as a result of these parnerships, was 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, q1 and q2 of 2001.
