I Don't Think I'm A Criminal, Number

I Have Faith In The Market When We Get The Rules Right.

But I Can't Take Responsibility For Criminal Conduct Of Somebody Inside The Company.

I Always Took My Role As A Leader, And Certainly Chairman And Ceo Of A Major Company Very Seriously As To Our Employees And Trying To Create Opportunities For Them And Create Opportunities Where They Could Even, As I Said Many Times, Could Realize Their God-given Potential And Maybe Realize More Potential Than Even They Realize They Had.

The Last Thing I Would Have Ever Expected To Happen To Me In My Life Would Be That, In Fact, I Would Be Accused Of Doing Something Wrong And Maybe Even Something Criminal.

The Collapse Of Enron And The Subsequent Collapse Of Arthur Andersen Were Tremendous Tragedies. But As I Stated At The Time Of My Indictment On July 8, 2004, Failure Does Not Equate To A Crime.
