MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2002 Arthur Andersen employees began mass-deleting e-mails related to failed energy company Enron last October, setting off a wave of document destruction that didn't end until the government sent a subpoena for the records. Andersen's policy was to get rid of records as soon as possible because of its past record with lawsuits. But according to The New York Times, the company cut back on the staff responsible for document destruction, so when Enron began collapsing, the shredding and deleting came in massive waves. Now facing an indictment for the behavior, the government alleges the obstruction of justice began October 10, when the wide-scale destruction started. Get the Story:
