Duplication

In the "Enron Scandal" section of this article there are these two extracts which pretty-much duplicate one another:

• Because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will not accept audits from convicted felons, the firm agreed to surrender its CPA licenses and its right to practice before the SEC on August 31, 2002—effectively putting the firm out of business. It had already started winding down its American operations after the indictment, and many of its accountants joined other firms.
• In 2002, just nine months after the scandal broke, the firm was found guilty of crimes in the auditing of Enron. By that time, Arthur Andersen had lost most of its business and two-thirds of its 28,000 employees, and was facing multi-million dollar lawsuits. On August 31, 2002, the company surrendered its licenses to practice as certified public accountants in the United States, effectively putting the company out of business.

Is there any scope for merging them together, perhaps presenting the section chronologically? AndyJones (talk) 16:00, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Seems like we're all about the fact that the form was legally dissolved and don't care what happened to anybody working there.

Dissolving a corporation is just legal paperwork but it seems like it's the center of this article. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:1075:CB3:E575:5AA1 (talk) 14:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

This article gives the impression that somebody was found guilty

But it doesn't say when that happened or who the judge was or anything. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:1075:CB3:E575:5AA1 (talk) 14:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
