Enron bosses found guilty
OT news / p2pnet: Enron’s former bosses Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling have been found guilty of fraud and conspiracy and are now headed for federal jail or will it be one of America’s famous white collar holiday homes?
“Disgraced Enron kingpins Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling were found guilty of conspiracy and fraud yesterday, bringing to an end one of the biggest corporate scams in U.S. history.,” says the New York Daily News.
What does that have to do with p2p?
Not a lot.
It does, however, drive home the message that just because a corporation is huge and constantly lauded/quoted by the media, it doesn’t mean it’s honest.
Are we thinking of any companies and/or organizations and/or individuals in particular?
You bet.

NOTE: p2pnet is being sued by Sharman Networks and Nikki Hemming, ceo of p2p application Kazaa. “The suit is a little odd, since P2PNet.net is a champion of peer-to-peer file-sharing, which is the same business that Kazaa is in,” says The Globe & Mail.

those guys were using similar explanations for their, sorry somebody elses, behaviour to the ones John is using to fend off criticisms that he is not being totally honest on the free speech thing.

But what about the CFO? Why isn’t the person who would have had the most indepth knowledge of the company’s “creative accounting” not also being issued an invitation to Club Fed?
