“Burn, baby, burn. That’s a beautiful thing,” a trader sang about the massive fire.

Four years after California’s disastrous experiment with energy deregulation, Enron energy traders can be heard – on audiotapes obtained by CBS News – gloating and praising each other as they helped bring on, and cash-in on, the Western power crisis.

“He just f—s California,” says one Enron employee. “He steals money from California to the tune of about a million.”

“Will you rephrase that?” asks a second employee.

“OK, he, um, he arbitrages the California market to the tune of a million bucks or two a day,” replies the first.

Where is Ken Lay?

Mods…please close this one. Apos’s thread is much more eloquent than mine.

Thanks.

Well…more eloquent but not better.

You didn’t ask the pertinent question.

Where is Ken Lay?

Hiding in the Lincoln bedroom?

[Airman_Doors_USAF]

That’s a hell of a good question. I’ve been wondering that myself for some time.

[Gorgon_Heap]

More likely in Cheney’s closet.

[Guinastasia]

Holy SHIT!!!

Both the Justice Department and Enron tried to prevent the release of these tapes.

Bolding mine.

What the HELL?

Oh fucking hell, I hope they nail these bastards to the wall!

I always picture the Ken Lays of the world sipping Mai Tais on the terrace, taking the sun. So where is he, really? Don’t have this closed just yet.

Hey Reeder, wouldn’t this be your second Bush-bashing thread on the first page of the Pit?

Nope, that’s where his daughter is.
