Andrew Fastow quotes:

Mark-to-market accounting is like crack. Don't do it.

I wish I could undo what I did at Enron but I can't. I understand that I deserve punishment. Your honor, I accept the prison sentence that you are about to impose and will serve it without bitterness.

When I was initially charged I still thought I was not guilty because I had followed the rules.

There are people who look at the rules and find ways to structure around them. The more complex the rules, the more opportunities.

I lost my moral compass and I have done terrible things that I very much regret.

I believe I was extremely greedy.

The question I should have asked is not what is the rule, but what is the principle.
