It was disclosed during the Enron trial today that former investor relations head Mark Koenig tried to get transcripts and tapes of a 2001 conference call in which CEO Jeff Skilling called an investor an “asshole” taken off of Web sites. However, Bloomberg News refused to take the conference call down.
The tape was played in court today, and the Houston Chronicle’s Loren Steffy detailed how the defense tried to prevent it from being played and how they wanted the investor called the A-word to be called something other than an “investor” because he was a short seller.
