“It was actually in retrospect a pretty meek story. It didn't say that the company is a fraud and going to go bankrupt in nine months. In fact, if you had said to me at the time that Enron is going to go under, I'd have said, 'Are you kidding?' It just didn't quite make sense. In retrospect I fault myself for not questioning it more than I did.”
Bethany McLean
“We have no tolerance for fraud - not against FEMA, not against the American taxpayer, our partners and certainly not against the victims of these hurricanes. We are looking into this matter specifically and are supporting the Department of Justice in every way possible.”
Natalie Rule
“We got a warrant to obtain documents and records and see if there is any Medicaid fraud, and this company produces wheelchairs and walkers.”
