ENRON’S FALL
SPARKS BY: KISHLAY RAJ  ASHISH ZUTSHI PRIYA SAROHA ARPIT TOMARNALIN HOODA
THE BRIEF!!!! ,[object Object], 
SO FROM ALL THE PLAYERS KEN LAY JEFF SKILLING ANDY FASTOW LOU PAI
ENRON TIMELINE       1985: Enron formed Aug 2001 The beginning of the end at Enron: Jeff Skilling publicly announced he was quitting as CEO. For many people, both inside and outside Enron, that was when it became clear something was seriously wrong. Enron's stock fell 6 percent the next day, to $40.25. It would never close that high again.       Oct 2001: Enron reports $638m third quarter loss and $1.2bn fall in shareholder equity Securities and Exchange Commission begins inquiry into firm.To Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling, Enron's CFO wasn't always the bad guy. Indeed, Andrew Fastow was a longtime Skilling protege, and Lay had always viewed him as indispensable. After Lay became CEO again, one of his early moves was to negotiate a lucrative extension of Fastow's contract, and Lay defended Fastow in an October 23 conference call, saying "I and the board of directors continue to have the highest faith and confidence in Andy." The next day, Fastow was gone, and Lay has recently claimed that the CFO's larcenous behavior sank the company
Nov 2001: Enron shares sink to 10-year lows as buyout deal falls through and further losses are revealed at the firm        Dec 2001: Enron files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy        2002: Criminal investigation launched
2004: Skilling and Lay charged over Enron collapse Former finance chief. Among the 77 people on the list of potential witnesses for the prosecution, no one was closer to Jeff Skilling than Kenneth Duane Rice. Rice's role as CEO of Enron's broadband business, perhaps Enron's most brazen illusion, placed him onstage in the investigation of Enron. In May 2003, Rice was among seven broadband executives charged in a 218-count criminal indictment. For a year, Rice swore he'd done nothing wrong. Then, on July 30, 2004, Rice cut his deal. He later testified that it was at Skilling's urging that he lied about the state of Enron's broadband network. Andrew Fastow pleads guilty to criminal charges and agrees a 10-year jail term         2005: For nearly two years after FBI agents first led Richard Causey, Enron's former chief accounting officer, into the federal courthouse in handcuffs, he asserted his innocence, claiming that there was nothing wrong with Enron's accounting. In doing so, he provided a valuable buffer for Lay and Skilling, who will insist they relied on his expertise. But three days after Christmas, Causey -- known at Enron as the "Pillsbury Doughboy"-- agreed to plead guilty to a single count of securities fraud, cooperate with government prosecutors, and serve up to seven years in prison.          Jan 2006: Enron trial begins
