When Mr. Skilling became Enron's president and chief operating officer in early 1997, he and Mr. [Kenneth Lay] promoted Mr. Fastow to lead a new finance department.

Having zero knowledge about investing or any financial knowledge for that matter, she signed over her money to the broker which she trust that he would take the best route for her; Orman went broke within three months. “After losing all her money, Orman decided to become a broker and applied to the same Merrill Lynch office where she had lost her earlier investment” (Orman 2014). Trying to learn all she could, she eventually learned that her broker did not follow all the required policies; suing Merrill Lynch for inadequacy, Orman won the case.
