Clearly you are a subject matter expert on the Enron case. Surprising, then, that you made this mistake:

Those were the ONLY convictions left standing out of the over $150 billion Enron failure. . . and it was later found that Brown's opinion was TRUE! He did not lie. . . but he's left with a felony record.

What about Jeff Skilling?

Jeffrey Keith "Jeff" Skilling (born November 25, 1953) is a former American businessman best known as the CEO of Enron Corporation during the Enron scandal. In 2006, he was convicted of federal felony charges relating to Enron's collapse and, as of 2018, is serving a 14-year prison sentence at FPC Montgomery in Montgomery, Alabama.[2][3]
Trial Results:

guilty on one count of conspiracy
guilty on one count of insider trading
guilty on five counts of making false statements to
auditors
guilty on twelve counts of securities fraud
not guilty on nine counts of insider trading

After two appeals to the Supreme Court, he got one charge nullified, but then reinstated by a three judge panel of the circuit court. Eventually he was able to get his sentence reduced, but the convictions all stand.

According to the Bureau of Prisons, Skilling is incarcerated in FPC Montgomery and is scheduled for release on February 21, 2019. His original release date was in 2028,[46] but his sentence was reduced due to a sentencing agreement he struck with federal prosecutors in May 2013.[47]

Can you clarify your statement vis a vis this information?

I forgot about Jeff Skilling. . . Sorry about that. Except for the conspiracy charge, those were insider trading charges, brought by the SEC, not the Special Prosecutors task force. It was the conspiracy charge that was reversed by the Supreme Court. Do you seriously believe that a Three Judge Panel of a subordinate court can OVERRULE a decision vacating a conviction by the US Supreme Court? When the Supreme Court makes a decision, it's final.

None of those were counts that had anything to do with the actual failure of Enron, except the false statements to auditors. Which was part of Arthur Anderson's defense. . . that they were lied to, shown false data, by Enron officers. Yet the Prosecutors still went after AA for criminal actions on a count that simply did not exist.

The point was your statement was the Arthur Anderson was "COOKING THE BOOKS" for Enron which was a flat out FALSEHOOD.

You are the one who has played fast and loose with the facts.
