I have a huge interest in Fraud cases, which is why I’ve read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou five times. I’ve read one other book about Enron (Conspiracy of Fools) and I’ve listened to the WSJ Bad Bets podcast about the company. If you want to understand how large-scale corporate fraud happens, this is a great company to read about. Bethany McLean was one of the first journalists to scrutinize Enron. This book is very well-reported and well-written. This is a complex topic and it can get dry at times but there are also many moments where the scandal is so clear it’s almost unbelievable. Definitely recommend.
