Sad
ETA... I wouldn't be surprised if it was suicide and they are just calling it a heart attack.

Re: CNN Breaking News: Enron founder Ken Lay has died
I don't mean to sound cynical, but something seems "off". He's at his vacation home and he dies of a heart attack??? You can survive the trial and all that stuff? Part of me thinks he's heading south of the border.

I agree with it being off, but I was thinking they are going to find something that indicates this is suicide.

If I were an Enron employee, I'd want to see a body with DNA proving it too.

Wow.....
By the way, if anyone is either intrigued or confused by the whole Enron story, an excellent movie/documentary to rent is "The Smartest Guys In The Room." I saw it in the theatre (it was only in the city) but I'm sure it's on video somewhere. It's fascinating.
The person who broke the story was a female journalist.

I was just going to post this. I WOULD WANT TO SEE A BODY TOO.
I remember what the Romanian's did when they finally killed Ceaceascu (sp??). They shot him and dragged his body through the street like a pinata.
In all seriousness, he got off easy. It's all of those former employees who are truly suffering, especially so close to retirement, that lost everything and who are now, due to ageism, finacially dependent upon their families for support.
I hope he's taking the ESCALATOR DOWN!!!

I agree with the suicide thing- or he is leaving the country or did- I am sure he has tons of $$$ in off shore acounts
plus- he still has a vacation house? I thought everything was taken away from them?????

Re: CNN Breaking News: Enron founder Ken Lay has died
I tend to agree with the suicide theory.
Since he wasn't sentenced, he's not going to receive an additional financial penalty.
So, that's more money that stays in his "estate" and gets inherited by his wife and children.
Or, am I missing the mark here?

I think there were seizures, but wouldn't this sentencing have been for jail time as well as more financial penalties?

just another thought- he would have to make it look good- b/c his family wouldn't get any life insurance if he killed himself

they probably don't even need the insurance money. I still say he fled the country. All of the news article are so short and vague!
