“Enron'd” added as synonym to “dot-conned” in dot.communist style guide
While all the brouhahah continues over the sliminess of the management at Enron, nobody seems to be connecting with the fact that Enron's execs did to its employees and investors exactly what the venture capitalists did with WebVan, Pets.com, and all those other “pure-play” IPO's–build the stock price through hype and bluster, hide the debt, and then cash out as fast as possible and leave the suckers holding the bag, Enron was just more effective at creating an illusion of stability–through lies, deceit, and shredding.
