Among the absurdities touching Enron Corp. was
the report in February by a former employee,
broadcast by NBC News, that the company ran a
mock trading floor in its Houston headquarters,
furnished with desks, large flat-panel computer
screens and teleconference rooms, for the sole
purpose of making visitors believe the company
furiously traded commodities full-time. In
reality, revealed the employee, the equipment was
only hooked up internally, and the
employee-"traders," who appeared to be
frantically placing orders, were merely talking
to each other. [NBC Nightly News, 2-27-02]
