[Nettime-bold] Enron's funny money

[bc <human@electronetwork.org>]

  [this is an Enron artifact up for auction at ebay. ironic in many ways,
  from the signing of the banknotes by kenneth lay and jeffery skillings
  (where Presidents or Treasurer's names usually belong), or within the
  twised 'In Enron we Trust', the icono of 'being smart' on the cover, ie
  einstein, to the world trade towers on the back of the million dollar bill.
  a feast for cultural interpretation. videos mentioned in a previous post
  were immediately taken down from Enron's website; still developing...]

ENRON - Rare Million Dollar Bill with World Trade Center
=========================================================


"ENRON RARE Mint Condition Million-Dollar Bill with New York City skyline
  including the World Trade Center. NOT INTENDED TO BE INSENSITIVE. This
Bill was made in 1998 for internal promotional use only. NOT LEGAL TENDER.
The front sports the Enron Corp "Crooked E" logo in full color. The rest of
the bill is in traditional money green. The top of the bill states: "SAVINGS
THROUGH INNOVATION". The mug shot is of Albert Einstein for his innovative
  thinking well beyond his time. Listed as printed in Houston, TX by the
  Department of Energy Savings. Signed by both Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling.
Top Center on the back it reads: "IN ENRON WE TRUST." You will find the
"Crooked E" logos on both the right and the left with the New York City
skyline including the World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty. It is
assumed that the New York City skyline was chosen as it is the worlds
center of Trade and Commerce.

This bill was never approved for use by the promotion at Enron. Printed well
before the WTC attacks and not to be associated with the attacks in any way.
Very few were made. A definite collectors item."

PAYPAL or Postal Money Order preferred. Allow 10 days for checks to 
clear. Payment must be made within 7 days of auction close or item 
will be relisted.
