Kenneth Lay Advised Enron Employees to be “Moral and Honest” in Forward to Enron Code of Ethics

Filed under: Business — Posted by FoxyNews on February 3rd, 2006


The Smoking Gun, which digs up some of the most interesting and sometimes damning stories, photos, and documents, has got its hands on a copy of Enron’s “Code of Ethics” booklet. Apparently Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling either didn’t bother to read the guide, or else they preferred to think of it as a fictional work.

In fact, if you really want to see irony, you can download all 64 pages of the ethics guide. Not for easily nauseated, however.

How Ironic is This??

4 Irons: Tinged with Irony
5 Irons: Now That's Ironic!
