For this kind of upward mobility, he was fined $6 million after Enron collapsed.

      The Enron case, 9/11, and the subprime mortgage crisis were the three major shocks that the United States suffered in the first decade of this century. The film also exposes layer by layer that Enron is a multi-faceted rapist, like Titanic, big enough, yet, still failed

      Jeffrey Skilling: You, you, you... Well, uh... thank you very much. We appreciate it... asshole.

    • Kenneth Lay: [Q&A session with employees] All right, we are down to questions. And I got a few up here.

      [reads question from the floor]

      Kenneth Lay: 'I would like to know if you are on crack, if so that would explain a lot. If not, you may want to start because it's going to be a long time before we trust you again.'
