White-collar crime on this scale eclipses simple theft, robbery, murder, or rape. The scope of damage they caused to their employees, and plundering trusting communities, in my opinion, warrants death.

When you damage the lives of thousands you are in league with the most vile and corrupt villains.

No way for Lay to get an impartial jury in Houston. The trial should have been moved. I am not a fan of Mr. Lay,
but following the news in Houston, there was just as much evidence to say he was not guilty as evidence to say he was.
And all the evidence was hearsay….no paper trail…no e-mail or computer trail, just former subordinates that were
testifying against Mr. Lay in order to receive reduced sentences from the Feds.

What Goes Around Comes Around…

To date there are five financial institutions that have been directed to $7.2 billion back to Enron shareholders for their part in helping Enron to conceal it’s problems. The shareholders and employees claim $40 billion in damages, however, so they still have a looooong way to go. Any restitution imposed on Lay and Skilling would only be symbolic. About the worst it would do is force their wives to drive their own Yugos.

Lay has found Jesus.

Good for him. Now to show his faith, he should publicly confess, and do his time without complaint.

In addition to prison, these two scumbags should have to pay restitution to investors & former Enron employees.

Skilling and Lay will do their time in minimun security prison; as they are guilty, it is only right that they forfeit the rest of their free lives. I’m fine with that.

The MSM, and most of the blogosphere, rarely mention that Enron, WorldCom, Abramoff and other headline criminals committed their crimes during the previous administration but this administration caught them and prosecuted them.
