You did. Dave Duncan was the most recent AA audit partner in charge of the Enron audit. He had only been an equity partner for a year and he had the client with the third highest audit fee in the United States (after Waste Management -- another AA debacle -- and Citibank). Still, all charges against Duncan were dropped, and the USSC overturned Andersen's conviction. Not that it mattered, they'd gone out of business years before, though Andersen Tax Services and Accenture (the former Andersen Consulting) still survive.
