 Complaint: J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
All of Mahonia's bank accounts used to funnel the payments between the parties were held at Chase; Chase had full control over all Mahonia cash inflows and outflows relating to the prepay transactions.
Mahonia's obligation to make future commodity deliveries to Chase would therefore expose Mahonia to commodity price risk, i.e., the risk that the fixed sum it received as a result of Enron's default would be insufficient to fulfill its future obligations to Chase.
Mahonia could not be exposed to this risk (because of the representations it made to the Jersey authorities that it was in the business of providing finance) and it could not hedge it.

 Paghat's Garden: Mahonia repens
In its purest strains, Mahonia repens is a ground-creeper which looks like a dwarfed groundcover variety of English Holly, though of course it is not at all related to holly.
They are mildly toxic, though mainly the potentially toxic alkaloids are in the leaves & stems, for which reason it is particularly deer resistant, although in many areas it is an important early spring-browse for deer & elk & bears.
There is no case of toxic response in humans eating the berries, though this may be partly because they are unpallatable until they are fully ripe & been through a freeze or two, by which time they are tasty & perfectly safe.

 Wildscaping/Plants/Mahonia 'Golden Abundance'
Mahonias – also known as barberries – are wonderful two-season plants: in the spring they have dense clusters of yellow flowers; by the end of summer these turn into lovely blue-purple berries which are prized by birds.
The selection ‘Golden Abundance’ is a cross between several species (including the Oregon Grape, Mahonia aquifolium), and is known for its particularly showy flowers.
This hybrid has also proven to be remarkably adaptable: the specimen pictured here is in a sunny position in clay soil and receives only occasional summer water; another we have is in peaty soil in heavy shade at the foot of a eucalyptus, receiving regular garden water (which the eucalyptus promptly sponges up).
