Is Enron Making a Comeback After 23 Years of Infamy?
After over two decades since its catastrophic fall, Enron, one of America's most infamous companies, appears to be making a surprising return. The company that filed for bankruptcy in December 2001, following a massive corporate scandal, has reemerged with a new website, social media accounts, and even a billboard, all claiming to bring back the Enron brand. For many, the very mention of Enron still brings up painful memories of one of the largest corporate collapses in U.S. history. Yet, the new Enron promises to be something quite different from the once-revered energy giant.
The company's resurgence comes with a striking new logo, reminiscent of the old Enron brand. A full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle reads: "We're back. Can we talk?" It directs readers to a website with a countdown clock, indicating a significant announcement is expected on December 9. The website presents Enron as an energy company focused on sustainability, offering career opportunities and even selling branded merchandise like T-shirts, hats, and water bottles.

This relaunch, however, quickly raised eyebrows. Upon further investigation, the website includes a disclaimer stating that it is "First Amendment protected parody" and designed for entertainment purposes only. The trademark for the Enron logo is actually owned by "The College Company," an Arkansas-based business linked to the creators of the satirical "Birds Aren't Real" conspiracy theory movement. So, it seems this new version of Enron is not trying to resurrect the defunct corporation, but rather creating a piece of performance art or satire around it.
This playful take on the Enron name is undoubtedly causing a stir. As rumors swirl online, some speculate that the relaunch might be a prelude to a cryptocurrency project, though no solid evidence has emerged. Enron's infamous "crooked E" logo still holds a certain cultural weight, and the possibility of using it in a new venture—whether serious or satirical—has caught the public's attention.
While the new Enron might not be the phoenix rising from the ashes that some might hope for, it certainly evokes the intrigue of a brand that once symbolized corporate greed and scandal. Whether this new chapter is an art project, a marketing gimmick, or something else entirely, it’s clear that Enron’s name still has the power to captivate, confuse, and provoke. The company that once shook Houston to its core is now back in the spotlight, but for very different reasons. The question remains—what exactly is this new Enron all about? Only time will tell.
