I hope the Justice Dept is deep into investigating the Clinton/Gore/O'Leary/Rubin/Enron connection.

Make that the Clinton/Gore/O'Leary/Rubin/ recently deceased New York Times business writer Allen Myerson/Enron connection.

I do not understand why anyone, who's read the Enron articles on this thread, written by A. Myerson, would think he's in on ENRON corruption, or offed himself because of it.

I'm no expert and I didn't study each and every word, but to my uneducated eye, it sure seems as if Myerson was skeptical of ENRON's ambitions early on. He warned investors of the risks, he pointed out how analysts warned early on, that the accounting procedures were intentionally misleading. And he sounded very skeptical that an energy company could be successful while juggling so many other irons in it's fire.

Yes, it's a scandal that Myerson leaps to his death from the NYfriggingTimes office bldg, and this mother lode of investigative journalists won't be able to figure out what happened???? Yes, it's a scandal that the NYFriggingTimes would indulge themselves in such a sugar coated, sanitized headline for one of it's own.

But I don't get the rest of the Myerson/Enron conspiracy theories. This man seems to me to be a damn good reporter who was reporting on Enron as it was getting it's self established as a new kind of corporation, and long before the collapse.

Yes, way back when he was writing about Enron, it was another FOB corporation, and yes, that's probably why he was interested, he wanted to give a leg up to a corporation who was so involved with Clinton/Gore foreign connections, but even that is zealous speculation.

Like I said, I'm no expert, but I'd bet the farm Myerson's Enron funky fall had absolutely nothing to do with Enron.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I should have directed you to "tallhappy"'s replies on the following thread:

Tallhappy has posted several of Myerson's early Enron articles there.
