ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Enron Corporation

Enron Corporation was a company that people worked for and invested in. They said they were really good at making money by buying and selling things like energy. They had a lot of people who were supposed to look at the money they were making and make sure everything was okay. But, it turns out that the people who worked at Enron were doing some sneaky things to make it look like they were making more money than they really were. They were lying and tricking people. When everyone found out, Enron went bankrupt and a lot of people lost their jobs and their money. It was really bad and people still talk about it today as an example of what not to do.
