    A fundamentally fraudulent company that destroyed the lives of thousands of its employees relaunches with a press release, no public information on its new leadership or concrete plans, opting instead to vaguely reference an interest in pursuing some sort of crypto play.<p>It says a lot that this brand is worth enough to someone who wanted to revive it, if for no other reason than to capitalize on its infamy.

      Performance art project, perhaps? A little early for Aprils Fools.

    Almost certainly a shit memecoin project. The Enron trademark was until recently owned by The College Company, [<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tsdr.uspto.gov&#x2F;#caseNumber=88914633&amp;caseType=SERIAL_NO&amp;searchType=statusSearch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tsdr.uspto.gov&#x2F;#caseNumber=88914633&amp;caseType=SERIAL_...</a>], a t-shirt and knick-knacks vendor that previously capitalized on the Birds Aren&#x27;t Real meme (news coverage: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;vZvup" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;vZvup</a>). It looks like the trademark was handed off to a new entity this year, whose address aligns to &#x27;Ground Control Business Management&#x27;, which appears to be a firm specializing in financial planning and &#x27;family office&#x27; type investment management for wealthy individuals.<p>Further, Enron.com is currently hosted on Shopify (IP resolves to Shopify; page is stuffed with Shopify web assets if you inspect the source). This makes no sense for a proper corporate web presence outside the retail industry. The College Company&#x27;s other pages are also built on the Shopify platform.

      I might be wrong, but wasn&#x27;t Mr. Robot&#x27;s E-coin logo stylized like the Enron logo?<p>Art imitates life imitates art?

    One page over from this news brief they are selling branded merchandise - $100 for an embroidered crewneck! It seems unlikely to me that this is a legitimate relaunch, it smells more like a post-ironic meme merch drop.
