They did shady things in their accounting and basically screwed over a lot of people. Kenneth Lay should rot in hell.

a bunch of pretty smart harvard grads started a multibillion dollar company that essentially did nothing and then skimmed ass loads of cash through various accounting frauds

😀 on a serious note - its a beautiful place. I was there from when I was 4 up until I was 17. Some villages have no electricity, cars, etc. Of course, there are cities where lifes not too different from any other city in the world, but the contrast between the rural areas and the urban areas is incredible.

PS: I'm vegetarian 😀

Well, the gist is that they were cookin' their books to hide shady dealings and debt. When it all became known, stockholders, investors, and creditors ran away and the company hide to file bankruptcy.
