Who remembers the Arthur Andersen firm? [View all]

Back in 2002 it destroyed documents that would have found it complicit in the Enron scam, and like overnight, the firm was dissolved.

It's just funny how no one talks about it anymore. Not even as a cautionary tale. Which makes you wonder if the Epstein mess is big enough to have the same effect with some of these complicit firms.
