ABSTRACT

At the height of its glory, the now-legendary Enron Corporation billed itself as the “world’s leading energy company.” Enron owned pipelines and electrical generation facilities and even branched out into water production facilities around the world. The company was also noted for its innovative trading operations, which included a “gas bank” for natural gas purchases, an electronic trading platform called EnronOnline, the delivery of high-speed Internet transmissions through Enron Broadband Services, and a broad array of merchant investments.
