Legal Ethics is the name of one of my textbooks. In it, it discusses Enron, and the law firm of Vinson & Elkins, which was the law firm employed by Enron. Essentially, the book says, "Don't do like they did."
I love that Enron and all its connected players wound up in legal textbooks. One of the strongest things a law professor can say to her students is, "Don't you wind up in the next edition." The students who hear that shudder, thinking what a terrible situation that would be.
The Enron crew has become a societal touchstone for what not to do. Every time I read about them in my book, I am reminded that in this case anyway, the spin didn't spin.
