Mahonia could then sell the oil and gas back to any company, including Enron.The insurance firms' lead attorney showed deals yesterday involving Mahonia buying and Chase selling the same oil from and to Enron on the same day in the same transaction. These deals would result in only money changing hands, but not any commodities whatsoever.J.P. Morgan Chase's attorney said at the questioning of Judge Jed Rakoff, that the trades were circular.
