Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Enron, notorious for its role in one of the largest accounting frauds in U.S. history, re-emerged with a website promoting branded merchandise. This parody project is linked to 'Birds Aren’t Real' creators, revealing its intent as a performance art piece rather than a legitimate corporate revival. While it hints at potential cryptocurrency involvement, the focus remains on selling Enron-branded apparel—raising eyebrows about the ethics of resurrecting such a tarnished brand.
