Surrendered

Richard Causey, Enron’s former top accountant, surrendered to the FBI last week after being indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that he helped to cook Enron’s books by creating financial schemes that hid losses, fabricated profits and eventually led to the collapse of America’s seventh largest company.

Enron’s former top accountant, Richard Causey, surrendered to the FBI Thursday but pleaded innocent to six securities fraud and conspiracy charges before a U.S. District Court judge in Houston. The Securities and Exchange Commission also filed civil charges against him on Thursday stating that he helped engineer fraudulent schemes to hide poorly performing assets from Enron investors while artificially inflating financial results in a effort to drive up Enron’s stock price.
