Abstract
Enron, Lernout & Hauspie (L&H) and Parmalat were three very different com- panies, yet they shared what became very similar destinies. Due to criminal activities, the companies were caught up in the eye of a media cyclone. We propose to use case studies of their behavior and fate to highlight regularities and distinctive qualities of the situations in which the three companies, located in three different jurisdictions, found themselves.
