Oh My Fraud

Meet the Journalist Who Got Suspicious of Enron Before It Was Cool


Listen Later

Jonathan Weil caught the journalism bug early. But it was his knack for spotting financial reporting sleight-of-hand that set him apart as a young reporter at the Wall Street Journal in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Caleb talks to Jon about the circumstances that led to him writing one of the earliest stories that questioned Enron’s accounting, his time peddling opinions as a columnist at Bloomberg, and his return to journalism after taking a spin through the hedge fund world.
