Enron
used The Force to swindle employees
Some of the smokescreen partnerships
used by Enron were named after Star Wars characters: Chewco (Chewbaca),
JEDI, Obi-One holdings.
Former Enron Exec, Jeff Skilling testified in front of congress
today and
claimed that he knew nothing about any shady dealings. I love
Star Wars. I
thought they were great names for companies. Who wouldnt want
to work with
Bobba-Fett Communications.
After making the comments, Skilling suddenly became very silent
after Vice
President Cheney, clad in a dark cloak, waived his hand in front
of his
face. Skilling then began choking and grasping at his throat as
if being
choked. He soon recovered, but was apparently stripped of his rank
within
his current company, the Imperial Army.
