This was the financial scandal that fooled everyone from Wall Street to the White House. In this video, we break down how a company that sold nothing became one of the biggest names in American business before collapsing overnight.

We show how Enron’s top executives (Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling) built an empire on clever accounting tricks, shady deals, and pure confidence. And we’ll unpack how mark-to-market accounting and off-the-books accounting let them report profits that didn’t exist, and how Arthur Andersen, their auditing firm, looked the other way until it was too late.

From political connections with George Bush to the ripple effects across global markets, this is Enron explained... How lies, ambition, and blind trust created one of the most shocking financial scandals in history.
