The recession started in 2001, though there were some knocks in 2000 and notable volatility in the stock market. See more here: http://www.usatoday.com/money/econom...4-04-fed_x.htm

The guys from Enron did get prosecuted, yes, but bear in mind that was only after Enron failed in what was then the biggest bankruptcy in history. So, if you need a smoking gun that big to actual bring scrutiny to bear on something....
