I agree this is what toppled Enron. Deriatives with commodities is a very tricky business and Enron had no clue about fiber-optics and bandwidth. Not to mention all that ad revenue on those stupid "why?" commercials. They made everything so complicated, no one could understand what was going on, probably including themselves.
I'm sure there is fraud involved and collusion with the auditors. White collar crime. The political aspect is much ado about nothing except all the sweetheart deals Clinton's administration arranged for Enron: India, Mozambique, etc. Wish that would come out but probably won't since it involves Democrats and not Republicans.
