Assembled from 109 messages that mention Deutsche Bank across eight Enron mailboxes, Jun 2000 – Dec 2001. Every line below was read out of correspondence, and every line opens the message it came from.

A brain that only keeps what is permanently true is a reference book, and it would have been no use to anyone at Enron in November 2001. A brain that keeps everything is the inbox again.

Sometimes the message gives a date and the page shows it; more often it gives only the condition, and the page says that instead of inventing a date the mail never stated.
