Former Enron Chief Executive Ken Lay lied to credit agencies to prop up the energy trader's ratings even as its cash dwindled, the company's former treasurer testified. Former Treasurer Ben Glisan, 40, said Enron forewarned credit rating agency Moody's Inc. it would cut the value of some overvalued assets by $1 billion in October 2001, but Lay telephoned the agency to tell an analyst there the company had no other skeletons to hide. In fact, Glisan said, those asset write-downs should have been at least $3.5 billion, but he and Lay knew revealing such dramatically bad news would send the company into a death spiral.
