  • I'm Brooke Gladstone.

  • Last week, the website for Enron.

  • Yeah, Vatnron, the disgraced, fraudulent energy company that went bankrupt in 2001, came back online.

  • We're rolling.

  • Awesome.

  • What does being the new CEO of Enron mean to me?

  • How much time do we have?

  • And on Monday, the new CEO introduced himself.

  • When I was a child, my father would renovate houses and something that he would tell me was son, all that really matters is to have a strong foundation.

  • He called it good Bones.

  • Well, I believe that Enron has good bones.

  • I believe that Enron has a strong foundation.

  • Connor Gaydos seems to have resurrected the company to poke fun at corporate America.

  • The finer print gives us the answer we've been looking for.

  • The information on the website is first amendment print protected.

  • Parody represents performance art and is for entertainment purposes only.

  • Phew.

  • And sell a few hoodies.

  • There's a company store selling Enron merch for as little as $118.
