It's not about forgetting, it's about other people not caring about things that aren't relevant to a job they're hiring for. For example, Meta is known for having a relatively high bar for engineering talent, and that is the signal people are looking for.

Even in the Enron case, I know a bunch of people who were snapped up from Enron after they collapsed. The Enron fraud was concentrated among relatively few people at the company, so it's not like their failure tarnished people who weren't in on the fraud.
