I agree. Since Enron is second only to World Com, you didn't see anything like this happen during the Clinton administration.

This was a financial disaster that affected the economy of the entire United States, and therefore the world. Ken lay almost certainly influenced our nations energy policy. Harken Oil, although on a much smaller scale engged in the exact same shell game, buying and selling corporations tht were nothing more than names to itself to increase the appearance of profit when they were failing.

So, yes. Nothing even remotely like it.
