Doomed to Fail

Ep 199: Missed the "Mark" to Market Accounting - Enron

Episode Summary

For this episode, Taylor got to read the book behind her favorite documentary of all time - 2005's "The Smartest Guys in the Room" - That's right, liars and grifters, we're stuffing money in offshore accounts and shredding the paperwork - we're talking Enron!!! From the meteoric rise of "The World's Leading Company" (whatever that means!) to stock prices tumbling and eventually jail time, this is such an interesting and multi-layered story!
