I feel awful. It was very painful.

Was I believer in Enron Corporation? Yes, sir, I was.

The company is in great shape.

Not that I recall. I don’t use the word juice in that context.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I have nothing to hide, Mr. Berkowitz, so I don’t think it’s a question of tailoring your testimony. I will respond to your questions to the best of my ability.

We were building a – what I thought was a fantastic company. We had great people. We were changing – we were changing the way the marketplace operated. We were creating a market for natural...

I would prefer they not know I’m considering selling.

I never did that. I don’t think I did anything remotely like that.

Are the things that now, in retrospect, with what I’ve seen happen to my company, would I have done some things differently? I think – I think we all would do – we would do...

If we don’t do this, the books that will get written will be wrong, like the books that have been written so far. I am innocent of all of these charges and I will fight...

Well, actually, I had been working as a consultant to former companies of Enron, or predecessor companies of Enron and, so, I joined in 1990 to really start our wholesale merchant business.

I will fight those charges until the day I die.

This is a misrepresentation of what was going on.

I sold some shares, but on a net basis, significantly increased my ownership.

You were well-rehearsed for making your testimony, right?

Well, as we built the business in the 1990’s, as I said, I enjoyed that.

In some ways, my life is on the line. I’m absolutely innocent of these charges.

This was about protecting gains, not hiding losses.

I think we had made some tremendous progress in the six months before I left.

The only reason I sold the 500,000 shares on Sept. 17, the only reason, was Sept. 11.

We’re ready; bring it on.

I have never been told we are going to artificially create anything.

So I told Vince he didn’t have to worry, we have plenty of cops in (the group).

I thought the stock was a great buy. I think anybody that bought the stock in 1999 was – saw over the next couple of years a strong growth. During the year of 1999, I...

You can never say everything you want to say. I feel I had a fair opportunity to explain a lot of the questions.

He was a good guy. He was very good at what he did. He had a good sense of humor.

I’ll always regret that I left when I left.

In the business world, allegations of accounting irregularities is tantamount to yelling fire in a crowded theater, except, today, in our Internet world, instead of people running for the exit signs, they just push the...

She is helpful in trying to help me describe to people what I am trying to say.

This list here is one of the most sophisticated groups of investors I have ever seen in one single investment. I doubt seriously they would have let us control their investment.

I’m sorry, I have to calm down here.

In the fall of the year 2000, there just happened to be a decision point when they asked me to become Chief Executive Officer of the company. It was a time when, as you remember,...

Mr Berkowitz, I have nothing to hide.

I am absolutely positive. There is no truth to that allegation.

It could be fine, it could be incorrect, depending on the situation.

It was a very difficult 10 years of very hard work.

It’s been a tough six years, it’s been a really hard six years.

I didn’t hear about it, the note, until it was published in the newspapers that following January.

I would view that as a rounding error. I’m not sure deals of that size would come to my attention. $125 million out of an annual calendar of $22 billion is hardly something that you...

Larry, I spent probably most of my professional life helping to build Enron Corporation. I don’t think there was anyone that was as shocked by the – by the collapse of the company as I...

Get me as much of that juice as you can.

I was not aware of the huge problems during most of the first quarter. I was out of town.

I’ve waited five years, I think I can wait another weekend.

The indictment, in a lot of ways, that was the turning point.

I can understand what they need to do. Their families are at risk. Their lives are at risk. I can understand where they’re coming from.

Wanna go back to ’99?
