Enron Corporation was founded in 1985 and grew to become one of the largest energy companies in the world by 2000. However, in late 2001 it was revealed that Enron's financial success was based on accounting fraud, causing its stock price to plummet from $90 per share to less than $1 and forcing it to declare bankruptcy on December 2, 2001.
