It looks like the short interest on Enron in the late days started to creep up. Who are the shorts that benefitted from their demise?

>The shorts that benefitted from Enron's demise are the hedge funds that were short the stock.

I’ll tell you who didn’t: the Taliban. Before Enron scandal broke the Taliban had people in Houston weekly getting the strip club/steakhouse treatment. They were working out a pipeline from the Uzbek reserves to the port of Karachi (via Afghanistan). Taliban were going to make enough money off it to be the next house of Saud. Deals fell apart when the Enron scandal broke.

Are you trying to imply shorts are the reason Enron went out of business?

Holy crap, never realized the scandal timeline lined up perfectly with 9/11. How random is that?

It’s not random. The construction company that was going to build it rhymes with Lin Baden

I'm pretty sure Michael J. Burry was actually able to get out of bed that day to go to his job as Eeyore.
