About 15 yrs ago I was wearing an Enron t-shirt (that I thought was funny) at that 24 Hr Fitness on Richmond and some black lady approached me and basically verbally undressed me while I was working out for having the nerve to wear something like that in public "After so many people like her lost so much". Nevermind the fact that it had been roughly a decade, and I was clearly wearing it for humor and not as a loyal endorsement of the company or their actions.

Enron never left. The actual legit business is EOG.

He's living in the Andes Mountains. He never passed away. Enron better bring back Lou Pai. He's on Mount Rushmore of Houston OGs.

Right. As I understand it, EOG was the real O&G arm that split off prior to Enron becoming more of an investment-type firm (and the leading to all of the fraud).

E&P was never a huge part of Enron. Mark Papa took those assets and dived headfirst into the fracking world. The rest is history.

The bigger crime was Ken letting Rich Kinder have all their pipeline assets. Enron was a pipeline company at heart but Jeff didn't like the slow growth prospects of the business (i.e. lack of ability to manipulate) so he cast it aside.

Got it. Thanks for the info.

I've done quite a bit of work with EOG, but that was in the last 15 years, so way past all of the Enron stuff.

Same with Dana Mead at Tenneco. Why hang on to a boring regulated pipeline business? Much more exciting to destroy the whole company by selling off the pieces.

No, they got rid of EOG long before the collapse. The real money maker was the natural gas business. They were the market maker in most physical markets. That part got sold to one of the big houses, can't remember which one.

exactly. Ken and his McKinsey buddy Skilling wanted returns on minimal capital to get a 'growth' stock valuation. Pipeline stock didn't appreciate very fast.

The Transwestern interstate pipeline was sold to Southern and then later to Energy Transfer. Can't remember who initially bought the NNG line, but Berkshire owns it now.

I was on the interstate pipeline audit team. The DOJ did not even interview us because it was a legit asset. But Enron used its cashflows to fund the other "sexy" businesses. That resulted in the FERC changing the rules on interstate pipeline cashflows getting filtered back into their parent co for other purposes.

I worked as a contract worker for Enron Gas Pipeline. It was Houston Pipe Line, Louisiana Resources and Florida Gas Transmission.

Wasn't Northern Natural Gas (pipeline) the original Enron asset?

Enron was formerly known as EnerNorth - it was a combination of Houston Pipe Line and Northern Natural Pipeline.

Video of "CEO" dropped. Connor. And now there is a timer.

Are there other threads that explains all this?
