I remember when Arthur Andersen Consulting (a software consulting firm that had split off from the accounting firm) renamed itself to "Accenture" in 2001 a few months before the Enron scandal. Although they already had split from Andersen legally, I wonder if somebody in the software firm knew what was going to happen with Enron and realized they needed to dissociate themselves with the name.

Nothing important to rich people and their money ever really goes away.

Yes, yes, I know, ctrl-f Credit Suisse and pretend it's 2005 and some crank with a tin foil ball cap is telling you about the NSA's wiretap program (with 2020 hindsight). No one ever talks about the 2019 bailouts.
