The Enron scams apparently did not stop when the company folded.

Lynn Brewer, who describes herself as an Enron whistleblower, runs The Integrity Institute. She wrote a book, “Confessions of an Enron Executive,” and makes $13,000 a speech, according to USA Today.

But her former colleagues told the newspaper she was a researcher, not an executive. They also disputed her accounts of discovering and reporting wrongdoing. In fact, Brewer was accused of her own misconduct: taking a business trip to London but not conducting the weeklong training session she had been assigned. This led to her leaving the company.

Enron was an example of shrewd but unscrupulous people using bluffing and bravado to enrich themselves at others’ expense. Its bankruptcy six years ago cost employees, investors and creditors millions of dollars.

People learned from this fiasco. For the few who suffered criminal and civil penalties, the lesson was that your misdeeds may catch up with you. Ms. Brewer may have learned that she can cash in on a notorious lie by telling more lies. And that reinforces the Enron lesson that applies to most of us: Be careful whom you trust.
