It's even worse than that. AA admits to destruction of documents. Documents that might tell what they knew and when they knew it. It seems they DID learn something from the Delorean debacle when the bankrupcy court made them come up with millions because of their duty to the investers which they subverted to their fees from DMC. Not only was there destruction of documents they were "double dipping". They were collecting huge consulting fees along with accounting fees. AA was not about to turn Enron in and kill the goose that was laying all of those golden eggs! Who watches the watchers? AA should lose their license to do business for this, they had a duty to protect the public and did not. They will just pay a fine and go on with business as usual. They will just add some obscure disclaimer language into their future contracts for further protection. Until Congress and the rest of government gets fed up with this stuff there will be no improvements and Enron got to the highest levels of government. In this case not only did all of the employees lose their livelyhood, their pensions were lost too! Even DMC couldn't do that! Never mind the investers who understood they were assuming some risk. The poor employees were betting their future and didn't know it.
