 Hoyle CPE - Enron
Enron also used the 30,000 miles of pipeline the company owned as a right-of-way in which to install 15,000 miles of fiber optic cable to transport digital data when officials noted that capacity in a particular area was not met.
Remember, Enron was an active participant in the derivatives market, so if it had made those same purchases itself all of the gains and losses from those trades and the changes in income would have to be reported in operating income because those investments would correctly be labeled as "trading" investment activity.
Enron's use of Raptor as a "special entity" to transfer risky investment activity off the balance sheet was an accounting choice that is often labeled as "off-balance sheet financing." Usually such techniques are used to avoid the parent company booking a liability.

 Enron Metatheatre:A Critical Dramaturgy Analysis of Enron’s Quasi-Objects by David M. Boje, New Mexico State ...
Enron’s LJM partnerships are an example of quasi-objects, the hybrid of theatrics to economics that sustains fraud in ways that seduce spectators to suspend their disbelief.
Enron’s quasi-object is ‘Enrononomics,’ a fictive-economics (an interpenetration of metatheatre and economics).
Enron from 1985 to 2001 enrolled characters in an inscription of discourse (genres), in annual reports, gala parties and Presidential and gubernatorial inaugurations, and “trading floor” metatheatrics that disseminated a globalization of deregulation discourse in ways that colonized and appropriated local energy discourses in India, Dominican Republic, as well as Texas, Washington D.C., and California.

 Antenarrative Trajectory Dynamics Theory and Method by D. Boje Ph.D.
Enron had 3500 subsidiaries and partnerships, and paid no income taxes in four of the past five years because it was able to transfer assets among 881 subsidiaries that were set up abroad in tax-sheltered countries.
Murrell (2002) argues in Enron Disclosure Issues that, "Overall, Enron failed to disclose facts that were important for an understanding of the substance of the transactions." The Powers Report (2002) and subsequent reporting gives you some idea of the complexity of the the rhythms of partnerships opening and closing, and Enron's loans, unwindings, and buys.
The Enron partnerships are contextualized and sustained in interpretive ambiguity in an ensemble of competing antenarratives.

 Thoughts on Enron: What Happened, Why, and How It Can Be Avoided Again
Enron may have been just an energy company when it was created in 1985, but by the end it had become a full-blown OTC derivatives trading firm.
Enron got the best of both worlds in accounting terms: It recognized its gain on the technology stocks by recognizing the value of the Raptor loan right away, and it avoided recognizing on an interim basis any future losses on the technology stocks, were such losses to occur.
Enron disclosed that it used "value at risk" (VAR) methodologies that captured a 95 percent confidence interval for a one-day holding period, and therefore did not disclose worst-case scenarios for Enron's trading operations.

 TESTIMONY
Enron also paid several hundred million dollars in fees to investment and commercial banks for work on various financial aspects of its business, including fees for derivatives transactions, and yet none of those firms pointed out to investors any of the derivatives problems at Enron.
Enron paid substantial fees to its outside law firm, which previously had employed Enron’s general counsel, yet that firm failed to correct or disclose the problems related to derivatives and special purpose entities.
Enron noted in its most recent annual report that its “continued investment grade status is critical to the success of its wholesale business as well as its ability to maintain adequate liquidity.” Many of Enron’s debt obligations were triggered by a credit ratings downgrade; some of those obligations had been scheduled to mature December 2001.

 SEC v ANDREW S. FASTOW - Legal Case Documents
The Commission is seeking disgorgement of all ill-gotten gains, including all compensation received subsequent to the commencement of the alleged fraud, civil money penalties, a permanent bar from acting as a director or officer of a publicly held company, and an injunction from future violations of the federal securities laws.
This was done, according to the complaint, for self-enrichment and to mislead analysts, rating agencies, and others about Enron's true financial condition.
As to Fastow's role in RADR, Chewco, and Southampton, the complaint alleges that Fastow secretly nominated certain of the owners of these entities, funded certain of their investments through undisclosed loans, collected undisclosed fees, and demanded and received under-the-table payments, including payments to himself and his family members disguised as yearly $10,000 non-taxable gifts.
