Only tangentially related; but if you want to understand the Enron scandal; Kurt Eichenwald's Conspiracy of Fools is a better treatment of the topic.

- logicx24 7y agoAgreed, that book was fantastic. Detailed but also very entertaining.
- rchaud 7y agoI have that book, but I only got through the first couple of chapters. Is it factually sound? The narration of conversations between Enron people is so descriptive (down to what they were wearing), that I kinda got the feeling that this is a "dramatic re-telling" as opposed to a more investigative review. I actually found the storytelling style pretty gripping, but again, I wasn't sure how much of it was fact vs. embellishment for narrative purposes.
- 420codebro 7y agoSorry, I don't read stuff by people who watch tentacle porn with their family. Fun fact about ol Kurt: He had an internet troll arrested over a flashing tweet because Kurt is too fucking stupid to turn off auto-play and gets seizures from flashing lights. Sorry Kurt, you're SUS.
