Maybe I should have asked a hell of a lot more questions.
Yeah, clearly, Rebecca and I also needed to ask a hell of a lot more questions.
It felt like we weren't getting the truth.
Hitting walls.
We looked back at some of the prior SEC filings, and we saw these partnerships had been up and running for a while.
And it dealt with a lot of money during that time.
And on top of that, we noticed Enron had some of its own stock tied up in these deals, 12 million shares of it.
And we knew the stock had dipped, potentially crippling those deals, potentially crippling Enron.
Did these partnership deals have anything to do with Skilling being so upset about the fallen stock price?
I didn't yet know how it all fit in.
So we did what journalists do.
We made it public.
In late August, two weeks after Skilling resigned, we wrote about the partnerships in an article.
It was a small mention, just a few paragraphs near the bottom.
We quoted directly from the SEC filing.
But that's pretty much all we had at that point.
We didn't understand the information in the SEC filing, but hoped that someone would come forward and help us.
Well, this time, someone did.
a person who had a lot of knowledge about these partnerships, an Enron insider.
The source didn't want us to use his name.
