According to an article published in the Los Angeles Times in January, 2002, an investor known to specialize in short-selling, named James Chanos, was a prominent critic of Wall Streets valuation of Enron. While his claims received little attention, Chanos began to publicly challenge the reports of Enron's profitability. He began to short Enron stock in early 2001--well ahead of the collapse--and, throughout 2001, a small number of investors began to follow his lead. By December 2, 2001, Enron had declared bankruptcy, thus fueling the ongoing debate about whether investors had been duped, or simply weren't paying attention to the proper indicators.
