This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

@@aluisious ​ also whistleblower protection was not the same back then - the federal Whistleblower Protection Act in place at the time only guaranteed protection to federal employees (OSHA had a program to protect discrimination or retaliation in the private sector, but there’s no payout.) However, newer protections were actually passed BECAUSE of Enron as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that extended federal whistleblower protection to employees of public and private companies who are reporting fraud and SEC violations. Fun fact from a friendly accountant, not all of us are dumb or evil, I promise 😅 But with the above in mind, obviously the Houston audit team were beyond stupid and literally destroyed the lives of thousands of others across the entire firm who literally had nothing to do with anything. It was literally a single audit partner who brought an entire accounting firm to the ground 🙄

[@RustCole01]

@@HayleighPaige So I honestly just avoid jumping into Enron conversations because during the peak of Enron's rise, I was just working to get licensed as a financial adviser and I was consumed by the Enron scandal. I read Bethany's McClean's SGITR book like 3 or 4 times and then followed up on some specific topics from the book. On it's face, it can be presented as a basic ponzi scheme but it was incredibly complicated. I'll never forget the "Raptor" shell companies that were used to cook the books. I think there were 6 Raptor corporations that were Raptor l, Raptor ll, Raptor lll etc, and they were inspired by the Jurassic Park movies. IlRC, the CFO of Enron, Andy Fastow, put his wife's family members as the owners of these companies and they were labeled as consultants. They moved money between Enron and these Raptor companies to cook their books, which is pretty similar to what FTX is accused of doing. One of the crazy parts of the Enron scandal that doesn't get mentioned that often is the recordings of Enron execs laughing on the phone about how they were engineering the brown-outs that were plaguing Texas and, I believe, California. They were so pleased that they were able to manipulate energy prices and reap huge profits from the chaos.
