Enron
Andrew S. Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer, ended his testimony on Monday, still insisting that Jeffrey K. Skilling and Kenneth L. Lay joined him in telling investors that Enron was profitable and healthy when all of them knew otherwise. Defense lawyers for Mr. Skilling and Mr. Lay, two former Enron chief executives, continued to paint Mr. Fastow as a serial liar who had little proof that the former chiefs knew that partnerships directed by Mr. Fastow were being used to hide debt and manipulate earnings. Mr. Fastow has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and agreed to serve 10 years in prison in exchange for cooperating with prosecutors and testifying in the trial of Mr. Skilling and Mr. Lay, who are accused of conspiring to defraud Enron while enriching themselves.
