Don and Tom:

     As I understand it, the reason the banks were able to loan Enron credit 
was because they used Enron's "energy swaps" as assets.  In other words, the 
collateral wasn't tangible, just "pie-in-the-sky" Enron predictions.  Thus, 
the bank accountants will probably say:  "Gee.  We thought Enron's assets 
were real.  We just made a mistake."  

     I have a feeling that if such a mistake were made with an individual, 
there would be cries of "Fraud".

 Combined with them also being the bankers for Worldcon, this mess is a long 
way from being over.

 In case you missed it, today the Washington Post  noted that several big 
banks were in  bed with and helping WCOM in its debt cover-up.  Imagine - JP 
Morgan  and others
