PUB: 12/03/2024 04:37 PM/DISC: 12/03/2024 04:35 PM http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241203816539/enBy JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron’s new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand’s tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a couple of big changes in the 2024 offseason to try and fix their awful offense. It started with bringing in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith . Then, the Steelers signed Russell Wilson to a veteran one-year minimum deal. After that, they traded for another quarterback, acquiring Justin Fields . Both quarterbacks have helped the offense improve, but Wilson was riding high with four straight wins before losing 24-19 to the Cleveland Browns on "Thursday Night Football." Before the Browns game, NFL insider Albert Breer revealed that Smith and Wilson had to have some difficult conversations to get the veteran quarterback to buy into the new system. From TNF Tonight—What’s worked for the @Steelers and Russell Wilson, and what’s next. pic.twitter.com/h367En6cEF According to Breer, Smith laid out a vision for the Steelers' offense that focused on discipline and efficiency, elements Wilson struggled with during his time with the Denver Broncos. The uncomfortable conversations reportedly revolved around Smith demanding that Wilson adapt his playing style to fit the team’s system, including quicker decision-making and greater reliance on the run game. While Wilson initially resisted, Smith’s no-nonsense approach eventually won him over, leading to a revitalized offense and the Steelers' surprising early success. "A huge part of this has been getting buy-in from Russell Wilson himself and that has happened from Smith and Wilson having a series of very hard, honest one on one conversations away from the other players and away from the other coaches," Breer said. Despite the recent loss to Cleveland, Wilson’s play has been noticeably more controlled, and the Steelers’ offense has shown flashes of the consistency fans have been waiting for. Smith’s ability to get Wilson on the same page has been pivotal, and his leadership has created a sense of accountability throughout the team. With Fields also in the mix , the Steelers now have multiple options under center, giving the offense a chance to continue evolving as the season progresses. Here was the infamous Russell Wilson miss to a wide open Pat Freiermuth that was talked about last night... Actually a great call by Arthur Smith with a play action Flood look, which gets both safeties to bite down Can see Freiermuth's exasperation pic.twitter.com/w3OxmGqQUb A viral clip from the Browns game highlighted one of those missed chances, showing Wilson not looking at a wide-open Pat Freiermuth on what could have been a likely touchdown. The humbling loss to Cleveland served as a reality check for the Steelers and Wilson. However, at 8-3, the team remains in control of its playoff destiny, and Wilson is expected to rebound with his usual poise. Wilson facing some adversity in Pittsburgh The progress that Steeler Nation had been celebrating came to a screeching halt when the offense failed to score any touchdowns in a win over the Baltimore Ravens. That lack of production carried into the game against the Browns, where touchdowns were hard to come by for most of the night. Though the Steelers scored twice late to take the lead, the missed opportunities left plenty to be desired. Despite the offense's struggles for most of the night, Wilson made some incredible throws to help the Steelers take the lead. The Steelers will need that resilience from their quarterback because the schedule ahead is unforgiving. Dropping a winnable game to the Browns adds pressure to an already brutal stretch, making every remaining matchup even more critical as Pittsburgh fights to stay on top.
