Thus week I was pretty familiar with the topics being discussed involving white collar crimes, organized crime, corporate crime etc. The information that I reviewed this week will be useful to me in my career as I am heading off to law school and I want to focus my studies on corporate law. I think that ethically speaking it will be easy for me to not be sucked in the world of financial greed as I feel those people were involving the Enron case. I feel that there were other people in the know who could have put a stop to this crime but were swayed to turn a blind eye due to a prosperous lifestyle.
I found it interesting to know that many of the rich and famous were also swindled out of millions of dollars. They wanted to believe so badly that their investments were being handled by an honest person who knew what it was to have that kind of money. We see everyday headlines involving movie stars etc who have been cleaned out financially from those they trust due to greed. I do hope that those who were affected by this scam do get some of their money recouped. The questions that I have about this weeks topics were about why the government was not watching these big companies under more scrutiny. It seems that corporations who deal with millions and billions of dollars of others peoples money should get audited more and the money trail needs to be looked at more closely. It would be interesting to find out which politicians benefited financially by these schemes.
