What part did Wall Street, with its stockbrokers, investment advisors, and stock analysts, play in the Enron debacle? What action did the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) take? How did the smaller energy company Dynegy come into the picture?
What will be an ideal response?
Wall Street has a hard time admitting when it does not understand something. Enron also generated enormous fees for investment bankers, which was hardly conducive to asking questions, let alone tough ones. SEC launched a formal investigation into Enron. Dynegy attempted a buyout of Enron and had executives who were indicted on security fraud charges.
