Fastow worked hard to enrich himself and others who could be of use to him. One was Enron lawyer Kristina Mordaunt, who in March 2000 was invited into a Fastow venture called Southampton Place.

Only a few weeks later, she got a call from Michael Kopper, a Fastow associate, who said the deal was winding down. When Mordaunt opened her bank statement in April, she saw a deposit for $1 million.

...Green Bay Tree* (by Mordaunt Shairp; Jed Harris, producer) is an appallingly sharp study of a middle-aged Briton who does not like girls at all and his adopted son who does not like girls much. Ballyhooed as a daring exploration of male homosexuality, done boldly in London last January, it has been purged by Producer-Director Harris of its sexual psychopathy.
