Today's New York Times has some great articles
about Enron. One is "Path to Settling the Claims Will be a Long One,
Experts Say" by Riva D. Atlas -- why? Because in the print edition it has
a list of Assets and Debts per Enron from its bankruptcy filing, listing 13 of
its subsidiaries whose figures were included "in the company's financial
statements". Of course we know lots of figures were not included and that
is what took the company down.
Compare this list from Enron Bankruptcy Filings
provided with the NY Times Article so some of the filings below it taken from
Texas Records -- we don't find anything in the first list that even remotely
associates with "Enron Global" anything. Recall, it was Enron Global
NY Times (page. A 16) Subsidiaries of Enron:
(Article lists Assets and Debts which I am omitting, just in favor of dealing
with the names).

State of Texas: http://www.pac-info.com, select Texas, then
select "corporations and limited liability companies" then scroll and enter
Enron Global:
Remember: It was Enron Global Power &
Piplines LLC that surfaced Nov. 8, 1996 such that a completely new board emerged
by 3/97 -- only holdover was the one running these subrosa deals, Michael
Lay.
--------------- at above site, enter simply
Enron:
Entry of "Enron" comes up with 262
entries!
As a public company you can have different legal
entities operating as subsidiaries but they have to be disclosed -- and why
would anyone need so many?
Probably the best way to cut to the chase and get a
series of short lists is to enter Enron A, then Enron B, then Enron C through
the alphabet if anyone is interested.
----------------------------------------
Again, the 1994 Enron Global that emerged is likely
a conversion of an L.P., or it could be the boys like Pug were running some of
the other entries among the 262 and did in fact create the Enron Global simply
for the convenience of overseeing a series of ops ....
