Unless you work for the Securities and Exchange Commission -- and probably even if you do -- the plague of scandals has left you as confused as an Enron auditor. Was it WorldCom's Bernie Ebbers or Global Crossing's Gary Winnick who made $735 million from his telecom firm's stock options?

Who destroyed ImClone -- the Waksals or the Rigases? What's the difference between Halliburton and Harken? What is Adelphia, anyway?

Here, to clear it all up, are Slate's Corporate Scandal Trading Cards -- the fastest guide to America's top 10 business crackups. (And they even come with the Slate Guarantee: You can trade our cards with your friends -- and they won't immediately lose 99 percent of their value!)
