Senior Enron figure agrees to help prosecutors By Joshua Chaffin in Washington Published: October 30 2003 19:50 | Last Updated: October 30 2003 19:50 A former senior Enron executive pleaded guilty on Thursday to a single charge of insider trading, as part of an agreement with prosecutors to cooperate with the criminal investigation into the management of the bankrupt energy company.
Dave Delainey, who headed two of Enron's largest divisions - Enron North America and Enron Energy Services - entered the plea in a Houston federal courthouse.
The case sheds fresh light on the way in which Enron seized on the electricity crisis in 2000 that cost California's taxpayers billions in order to push up its own share price, using the profits to cover losses elsewhere in the company.
It could also mark a breakthrough in one of the most high-profile white-collar crime investigations of the era, because of Mr Delainey's agreement to co-operate with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice in exchange for leniency. He will also repay $8m in ill-gotten profits.
In addition to entering the guilty plea to the criminal charges, Mr Delainey agreed to settle the SEC allegations without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, the SEC said.
Despite charging about two dozen former Enron executives, authorities have been frustrated so far in their efforts to penetrate the most senior ranks of the company. Not only did was Mr Delainey one of Enron's top executives, but he was also a close associate of Jeff Skilling, the former Enron chief executive.
In its complaint, the SEC hinted at its ambitions by making repeated references to the role of "senior Enron management" in the alleged scheme.
Mr Delainey joined Enron in 1994, and soon became part of a small group of executives in the trading division who flourished under Mr Skilling.
