Jeffrey Skilling, former CEO of Enron, has apparently gone ‘round the bend according to Donna De La Cruz’s Associated Press report picked up by the Guardian. New York City police picked up Skilling at 4:00AM at Park and 73rd after several people reported Skilling was “pulling on their clothes and accusing them of being FBI agents.”

An unnamed police source told De La Cruz that Skilling had been at two Manhattan watering holes, American Trash and The Voodoo Lounge, where he “allegedly ran up to patrons and pulled open their clothes. He was shouting at them ‘You’re an FBI agent and you’re following me.’”

Skilling has been charged with35 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, and insider trading. According to the Guardian account, he posted his US$5 million bond with a cashier’s check.

Fodor’s (scroll down a bit) says the American Trash “name refers to the decor, not necessarily to the clientele.”
