Welcome to today's episode of our podcast where we will be discussing one of the biggest corporate scandals in American history - the Enron scandal.

In the late 1990s, Enron, once one of the largest energy companies in the world, was exposed for its fraudulent accounting practices and deception of investors and employees. The scandal resulted in the company's bankruptcy and the conviction of several executives, including CEO Jeffrey Skilling and founder Kenneth Lay.
