of the Enron Scandal The Enron scandal is one that left a deep and ugly scar on the face of modern business. As a result of the scandal‚ thousands of people lost their jobs‚ some people lost their entire pensions‚ and all of the shareholders lost the money that they had invested in the corporation after it went bankrupt. I believe that Kenneth Lay‚ former Enron CEO‚ and Jeffrey Skilling behaved in an unethical manner without any form of justification‚ but the whistleblower‚ former Enron vice president
