The interminable Enron

The SEC has brought a civil suit against two former Enron lawyers, gc Jordan Mintz and associate gc Rex Rogers for assisting the fraud. According to the WSJ story, to which John Emshwiller contributed,

The charges against Mr. Mintz carry a certain irony. Among dozens of Enron attorneys, he was one of the most active in raising concerns within the company about Enron's dealings with Mr. Fastow's partnership operation. Mr. Mintz tried to put in better controls on those dealings and took some of his concerns about the partnership operation to executives at the company.

An SEC lawyer was quoted as saying that the fraud was "pervasive" and that the SEC "is committed to fully investigating all of the relevant conduct and bringing cases where appropriate." There are still plenty of former Enron employees who haven't been charged, so I guess we'll be seeing these cases for the rest of my life, anyway.
