The Enron Verdicts: New Markets for Scandal

Filed under: Critical Voices | FrontPage | Economy | Corruption — by Bob Zuber @ 3:08 am

As reported by Laura Smitheron of the Baltimore Sun, the Enron verdicts hardly put an end to opportunities for corporate misconduct: “Though the next scandal is impossible to foresee, market experts see a number of potential trouble spots, including the hedge-fund world that is lightly regulated but increasingly popular and accessible to everyday investors. Also, with expanding globalization, many investors are looking for the next hot investment overseas where accounting standards vary and U.S. regulators often can’t reach.”

In Dante’s Hell those guilty of the sin of cupidity are in the ninth circle, frozen in the Lake of Ice. Having cared for nothing but self in life, they are encased in icy Self for eternity. By making people focus only on oneself in this way, Satan and his followers turn their eyes away from the harmony of love that unites all creatures.
