From the Yeah, what I said department:
Michael Lewis asks, “Are
Enron Workers Owed Anything?”

For the most part, workers held shares voluntarily and could have sold them, and diversified their

them that it didn’t, but should the rest of us be responsible for them, any more than we feel
responsible for people who sunk their life savings into TheStreet.com Inc.?

sensible recipe… should you just happen to have a dewar lying around.
