One other thing I saw today: film of last month's hearing on the Hill, with the CEO of Andersen saying that "Enron didn't show us everything."

That's going to be hard to reconcile with "We've burned it all," IMO........LOL.

It might be a bit of both. The "burning" thing might be a panicked partner, trying to save his lifestyle. When you have a lazy and greedy partner ethically challenged, and a company that wants to hide the ball, the result is a false balance sheet signed off by the CPA firm, and ensuing lawsuits. I have seen it SO many times, including in my office, and including Anderson in particular combined with a crooked client.

Wow, Boise is back, too! Just think, maybe we will get to see another argument by the estimable Mr. Boies who did SO well in front of the Supreme Court. (I hope he has bought a new suit and washed his hair.)

If I wanted to win a case, that is NOT who I would hire. Lay must be desperate.
