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.
You may be right. My comment was solely based on the unusual coincidence of the Enron case blowing open via Kopper's bombshell and Mr. Myerson's untimely demise a day or so later.
All in the timing of his death. Kopper copped a plea yesterday. Skilling assets were frozen within hours of the annoucement. And this morning Myerson, who covered Enron, kills himself.
All of these people moved in the same elite circles. Kopper is an open homosexual who had a huge "marriage" ceremony in Houston all the elites were invited to. A Rabbi blessed the couple's new multi-million dollar home. Ken and Linda Lay were the primary sponsors of the Houston Holocaust Museum. Skilling and Fastow belonged to the "right" clubs and donated to the "right" charities.
If it was just that he covered Enron, I wouldn't be suspicious about his suicide.
But he also was involved in poltical activities with Gore, as the link above shows. An excerpt from that page:
