This is old news, I know, but I saw Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room for the first time last night when it aired on PBS.
I had followed the Enron case, but there were things that I learned of that I hadn't known. For example, Enron traders actually had some of their power plants shut down under various false pretenses during the rolling blackouts in California in order to artificially inflate the cost of electricity they were passing on to you, the consumer. They have some audio of traders patting themselves on the back and laughing -- it's really beyond my ability to comment on it, it's so horrid.
This kind of crime just makes me boil with rage. Someday this kind of crap will hopefully be seen as just one notch above child molester. Maybe when we stop worshipping the almighty buck.
