Enron Corporation announced its revival as a company focused on addressing global energy challenges, with plans that include possible expansion into crypto and blockchain technology.

The company, which filed for bankruptcy in 2001 after one of the biggest corporate fraud scandals in history, unveiled a new vision for its future.

This vision is based on five core pillars: adaptability, ethical leadership, forgiveness, scalable renewable energy solutions and a pioneering focus on decentralized technology.

The fifth pillar, “permissionless innovation,” points to Enron’s interest in crypto assets.

“Decentralized technology is advancing and we will of course continue to play a role in the future,” the company said in a press release, pointing to possible plans to launch tokens or blockchain partnerships.

This announcement marks a dramatic shift for a company synonymous with corporate misconduct.

The collapse of Enron, which exposed fraudulent accounting practices that destroyed billions in shareholder value, changed the regulatory landscape in the early 2000s.

With Donald Trump returning to office, some analysts speculate that a more favorable risk-taking environment could have triggered the company’s decision to restart.

However, further inspection of the terms and conditions on the company’s website revealed that the project was a parody and performance art. The website says:

“The information on the Site is a parody protected by the First Amendment, constitutes performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.”
