The Old Girlfriend Pops Back Up

On his re-cross-examination of Jeffrey K. Skilling, prosecutor Sean Berkowitz just accused the defendant of backdating a $10,000 check to his former girlfriend, Jennifer Binder, to avoid paying taxes on it in 1998.

Skilling said he does not remember writing the check or another $10,000 check that were gifts to Binder.

Skilling later sunk $180,000 into a photo company start-up of Binder's that got the majority of its work from Enron. Skilling admitted he did not report the conflict of interest to the Enron board.
