First Enron...

[p_p_man]

Now Excite@Home.

Is this the beginning of the end for Corporate America. Or is it just a warning that businesses that grow too large for adequate control make themselves vulnerable.

A question of big is definitely not beautiful.

What have all the Right Wing exponents of exreme captalism have to say about the situation that is building up in America.

Or will they blame Clinton's sexual drive?

 

[Phoenyx]

just shows you that the new economy died because it thought that old economy rules did not apply to it. if you have no product or service you are not gonna make money.

 

[modest mouse]

OK, muckraker....

excite@home failed due to poor management and a business plan with flaws.

Enron was pressured by all the recent oil mergers and made errors in anticipating the current state of energy demand and supply.

Or something like that.

BTW, why cant England make a decent car?

 

[Spinaroonie]

It's called spending too much money while not bringing in enough money. Can happen to any poorly run company.

Call it the Bush Gov't

Been followin it in USA Today

Enron was pressured by all the recent oil mergers and made errors in anticipating the current state of energy demand and supply.

Or something like that.

From what I can gather,

Enron execs who were also on the boards of other companies (including the former CFO, a dude by the name of something Fastow) formed shady partnerships between Enron and these companies and siphoned off large amounts of cash. They then cooked the books and overstated quarterly earnings to the tune of around $600 million. To escape detection they used auditors that were connected with Enron creating a huge conflict of interest issue. This thing had more incest than a Lit story from WV.

Once word got out, investor confidence plummeted and there was no way to go but down.

Greed is what they call it.

Thousands will be out of work and out of their retirement funds while some scumbags are sunning themselves in Rio.

One bright note, the former CEO that was removed was supposed to get a "Golden Parachute" package amounting to around 80 million dollars. Imagine that you fuck up on the job and they fire your ass and you still get a huge payoff. If I get fired I might get unemployment. Anyway he declined to take it.

A CEO with some integrity...If you're going to hell take your iceskates
