3 character witnesses (which is presumably voluntary)
1 contractor
Defendants: 2
Expert Witnesses: 3
Non-enron character witnesses: 11
The prosecution also shared its prospective witness list. It has 31 names, of which 23 testified, plus another 2 who weren’t on the original list. Of those two, one was an FBI agent for whom this was part of his job, and another was an Enron employee brought in as a rebuttal witness.
Enron produced a lot of trials, of which this is only one. There were so many trials Wikipedia didn’t even bother to list all of them (example), plus the senate hearings, extradition trials, appeals, etc. This is a very narrow slice of who had to testify about Enron.
But all of the witnesses either opted in (as character or expert witnesses, or investigators), worked for the company or person that committed crimes, or worked for the auditing firm that missed the crimes. None of these seem equivalent to the people I imagine you are talking to or about here. Could you give some specific examples of witnesses in positions similar to those people, in cases similar to FTX’s likely case? I’m happy with a very broad definition of similar, and I would absolutely believe they exist and I missed them. I’m a non-expert who has looked at two cases so far and both are missing crucial aspects of EA’s relationship to FTX. But I’m clearly not going to find them very fast.
The main Enron trial was much more cooperative and provided full lists of witnesses, with profiles.
