MTL - Back To 1995-Chapter 952 Take the blame

  Chapter 952 Take the blame

  When Jeff Skilling turned his back on the water, even a passer-by would understand that the Enron Group was completely ruined, and there was no chance of a comeback.

Jeff Skilling has always been Kenneth's right-hand man and the second most powerful figure in the Enron Group. He knows more about Enron's affairs than anyone else, and even many things are caused by him. How can he not know about Enron's affairs? thing?

   "Enron Group is going to file for bankruptcy, and Kenneth may also..."

  Greck looked at the TV in surprise. For everyone who came out of Houston, Enron was an unavoidable hurdle, and they had more or less dealt with this giant company.

  Seeing Enron collapse suddenly, for people like Glei Ke who have "get along" with Enron for decades, the impact is really too great.

Kenneth is 60 or 70 years old this year. According to the complaint from the Federal Department of Justice, once Kenneth is convicted, it is basically impossible to get out of the federal prison alive, and no powerful person will take risks and sacrifice himself. Save Kenneth, Kenneth without Enron can't afford that kind of price.

   What Song Yang cares about the most is Jeff Skilling, a person who is the least likely to go wrong, but something went wrong, and Kenneth would never have imagined that there would be a mistake here.

   What agreement Jeff Skilling reached with the Federal Department of Justice, Song Yang does not know, but one thing can be guessed, Jeff Skilling may have pushed all the blame on Kenneth.

   "I have done nothing wrong and will not admit to any charges. I don't know what Jeff Skilling's so-called plea deal is. That has nothing to do with me. I firmly believe that I have done nothing wrong!

I created everything in Enron Group from scratch. I dare not say that Enron Group has never done anything wrong, but I and Enron Group will not deliberately do something wrong. I am not guilty, and I will not admit that those things are nothing. crime! "

In the evening, Kenneth accepted an exclusive interview with the local media in Houston, the "Houston Chronicle". During the interview, Kenneth was very emotional, especially when Jeff Skilling was mentioned, Kenneth's expression was full of anger, even There was unwillingness and helplessness, but from beginning to end, he never admitted his guilt, and he also declared that he would not reach any **** plea agreement with the Federal Department of Justice.

Kenneth's interview, compared with Jeff Skilling's guilty plea, had an incomparable impact. The latter's major American media, portals, etc. reported the news that Enron was about to collapse. As for Kenneth's own interview, except for the Houston and Texas media, no one cares about it.

The matter of the Enron Group is beyond Song Yang's reach, and he doesn't want to interfere. No one can save Anran. Now it is obvious that the Federal Ministry of Justice just wants to beat Anran to death. Even if the little cowboy becomes the chief at this time, he probably won't At this time, wade in this muddy water.

  Even if the Enron Group is down, if you want to grab the cake from the Enron Group, you will have to wait for a while until the situation calms down.

  In the evening, Song Yang, who had already fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. After opening the door, he saw Greg and Ulf standing at the door, and Song Yang lost all sleepiness in an instant.

   "Something happened to Kenneth!"

  Grek suddenly said something shocking to Song Yang, which made Song Yang stunned for a few seconds, and his scalp felt slightly numb for a while.

   "Are you sure?!" Song Yang paused for a moment, then asked Greg.

  Grek nodded, "The news released by the Kenneth family is that Kenneth suffered a heart attack, and it was already too late when he was sent to the hospital!"

   Song Yang frowned, not because he felt sorry for Kenneth, but An Ran and his group of executives were all sent to the federal prison, which was not wronged at all.

Just after Enron's financial fraud came out, a group of Enron's executives fooled tens of thousands of employees and countless investors, telling them that Enron would not go down, and then prohibited employees who had Enron options from selling Enron stocks, and the fools continued Take over Enron stock.

There is nothing to say about this at first. All major companies are playing this way, not wanting to cause panic, but the operation is that Enron’s board of directors does not allow employees to sell stocks, but a group of executives are madly selling stocks, cashing out 17.3 million Enron shares. 1.1 billion dollars were taken away.

This is not over yet, Enron's group of executives directly distributed the dividends of more than hundreds of millions of dollars in the account, and did not divide a dollar between their employees and investors who bought Enron stocks, and returned them to themselves and their families. , bought a huge amount of insurance and trust funds, even if they went bankrupt, the insurance and trust funds would distribute dividends to their families every year.

These are still those that were picked up by the media during the Enron period, and those that were not picked up. In addition, Enron has issued huge bonds and borrowed a large amount of dollars over the years to buy, buy, buy, and invest in the world. In Brazil, Ah San spent at least tens of billions of dollars on laying electric circuits, building dams and power plants, laying natural gas pipelines, acquiring mines, etc., and these dollars were really invested in those projects? !

Just think about it with your toes in the way of Enron executives, and I know that there are more or less tricks in it, but I don’t know how dark the hearts of Jeff Skilling and his gang are. How much money has been made, anyway, it has been a few years, and Enron's overseas projects have not seen any return.

An Ran is not worth mourning at all, that's for sure, but the season when Kenneth suddenly had an accident is really special, it happened to be when An Ran's powder keg was ignited, and once he died, it was basically a one-hundred-one-hundredth death. There is no way to pursue it. You can't let the dead take the blame, even if he is really not a good bird, but if you put the blame on him, you will inevitably let the people who eat melons talk about it. This is bullying the dead and won't speak up, right? !

  Kenneth's disappearance has completely saved the Kenneth family. The Federal Department of Justice will at most pursue Kenneth's wife, Linda Lai, and it may not be possible.

The little cowboy, Tom Delay and the others can't just watch the orphans and widows left behind by Kenneth being bullied. .

In addition to keeping the Kenneth family, Kenneth's departure also made many of his "old friends" feel at ease, except for the little cowboy and Tom Delay who were directly related to Kenneth. In addition, the big group on Capitol Hill, the lords of Capitol Hill who have received Enron's donation, may also be able to sleep peacefully.

  So it's hard to say whether Kenneth really got a heart attack from Jeff Skilling's anger, or something else is hidden. Song Yang can't guess, but he still feels a little scalp tingling.

   "Now back to Houston!"

  Song Yang thought for a while, and then told Greck and Ulf that he was going to return to Houston overnight on the Bruno private jet.

If the move yesterday by the Federal Ministry of Justice was a nirvana, then it is no longer effective against Kenneth, and he does not have to bear the charges. We must not pry his mouth open and let him plead guilty. The Department of Justice can't do it, the psychics need to do it...

Kenneth will definitely get a grand funeral. After all, he has nothing to do with "grievances". Those big figures who avoid him will also stand up to attend his funeral and uphold justice for him. Song Yang will definitely want to Going back, the risk is gone at this time, and if you hide far away, you will be pointed out by others. After all, Song Yang also came from Houston.

  Houston, Jeff Skilling, who has been transferred to a safe house, is a little bit rolled over and unable to sleep.

Tomorrow will be a head-to-head confrontation with Kenneth. Although he is mentally prepared, he still feels a little guilty when he thinks of Kenneth. He and Enron's chief financial officer, Fastow, and others have already blamed Kenneth. After pleading guilty to some frivolous charges, Kenneth was bound to get out of federal prison.

As for Jeff Skilling himself, if everything goes well, he will be able to come out of the arena after three to five years and the wind has subsided. Everything is in his plan, except for Jeff Skilling. What Keeling was not sure about was how many connections and connections Kenneth could have.

According to Jeff Skilling's estimation, as long as something happens to Enron, those powerful figures will distance themselves from Kenneth, but after all, there will always be a few old guys who will help Kenneth out of the network that Kenneth has managed for so many years. Yes, likewise, Jeff Skilling was the one they were dealing with.

Just as Jeff Skilling was lying on the bed, when various thoughts flashed through him, let go of the door and someone opened it, and then saw that Ella Cherry, who was in charge of getting him to sign the plea agreement during the day, led a group of People appeared in front of him.

   "The situation has changed, something happened to Kenneth!"

  Jeff Skilling heard the words, his mind buzzed, and the time went blank. The person responsible for the blame is gone. Who will be responsible for the blame? !
