Almost no one expected to hear anything new about the company Enron after its collapse in the early 2000s. However, the infamous natural gas and electricity trading company is once again in the spotlight, this time due to a «new chapter». So, does this mean that Enron is back?
Learn about the past and potential future of Enron in the world of cryptocurrencies here.
Based in Houston, Texas, Enron started as a natural gas and oil trading company. The company’s mission was focused on commodities and energy.
Originally founded by Kenneth Lay, Jeffrey Skilling became the CEO of Enron. Lay was found guilty on six counts of fraud and conspiracy, as well as four counts of bank fraud related to internal trading and the accounting scandal of Enron. He passed away in 2006 before his scheduled sentencing.
As for Skilling, he was found guilty on multiple charges of conspiracy and fraud. Initially sentenced to 17 years in prison, his term was reduced to 14 years. Additionally, Skilling was ordered to pay over $ 40 million to the victims of fraud in the Enron scandal. Skilling was released from prison in February 2019.
