I don't want to be Skilling's advocate here but something bothers me and perhaps I have missed some of the details. I thought that Skilling was CEO for only six months and before that was in operations. Often there is a conscious disconnect between purely corporate staff activities and operational activities where one does not impact the other. In some very large companies I have worked in this happens. Thus, those in the corporate staff would conduct their hedging and trading activities without involving the operations that were being hedged. I see a situation where Skilling came into the CEO role from operations, quickly got a smell of something rotten, made sure he didn't get involved and got out of there in six months. This would make everything I have heard him say true. Any thoughts?
