20. Cliff Baxter didn't get a chance to testify.

Cliff Baxter, ENRON vice chairman, who had told friends he was going to cooperate with Congressional investigators and was considering hiring a bodyguard when he unexplainedly left his home in his pajamas one evening and was found shot to death inside his car, parked a short distance from his house.

World Socialist Web Site did some journalism at that time:

Columbia Spectator also went where mainstream media fear tread:
