Enron founder Kenneth Lay DEAD!!

[VictimOfScience]

Story.

Wow. I can't imagine it had to anything to do with his potential 165 year prison term coming up...:dozey:

Thats sad.

Thats sad.

Considering how many lives' he's ****ed over, I wouldn't shed a tear.

"Never speak ill of the dead"

"Never speak ill of the dead"

Thousands of Enron employees and investors lost their life savings, children's college funds, and pensions when Enron collapsed. A lawsuit on the behalf of a group of Enron's shareholders has been filed against Enron executives and directors. This lawsuit accuses twenty-nine of these executives and directors of insider trading and misleading the public.

Because the 401(k) plan is a defined contribution plan, there was no PBGC insurance and employees lost the money they invested in Enron stock. They could only sue those considered a fiduciary for breach of their duty of care based on ERISA Section 404.

Tell that to the families who lost everything to these white collar criminals.

Well, from what I can tell, this guy was actually trying to save Enron by getting more investments, but failed and was labeled the super bad guy.


I might be wrong though.

Hahaha! Yeah, tell that to these guys.

 

[Vass]

He seemed like a great guy when he wasn't screwing people over. He played golf with Bill Clinton. Thats nice. Hmmm...I wonder who shot a lower score.

 

[VictimOfScience]

He seemed like a great guy when he wasn't screwing people over.

So did Hitler...:dozey:

 

[15357]

Well, Hitler was a great guy except for the massacres and murdering and racism.

AC FTW!

 

[VictimOfScience]

AC FTW!

?

Atlantic City? Armored Cars? Agorophobic Cats?

Don't you mean KL FTW? As in, Kenneth Lay?

Ha, or did you mean Ann Coulter but posted in the wrong thread?

 

[Rupertvdb]

I have a suggestion for the funeral service...bury him in the spit of everyone he ****ed...should be enough to put him a few feet under.

edit: Just realised he might float...wait...do witches float?

Tell me again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

On-topic: I hope people piss on his grave \0/

Well, the European swallow is non-migratory, that's my point.

 

[Beerdude26]

Oh, yeah. So, they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway.

 

[theotherguy]

...this thread has gone downhill.

Kenneth lay deserved his prison sentence, he died a peaceful death as a billionare, and that is not fair at all. I would have prefered him getting shanked after a year in prison. :|

 

[Gunner]

OMG poisoned perhaps?

 

[smwScott]

More likely suicide.

Anyway, good riddance, I'm glad he's dead. I'm not familiar with the case but he would have probably ended up in white collar resort prison rather than the federal pound me in the ass prison he deserved.

 

[huntingbear]

If they weigh the same as a duck!

AHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA

 

[Dalamari]

Holy shit, he was still waiting to be sentenced? ffs, he was arrested almost 5 years ago wasn't he? And they didn't even have his crooked ass in a cell either, I really can't say I'm sad

Haha you got owned by the justice system.

 

[Zombie]

Maybe I'm just cold hearted, but I don't really feel bad, but you could probably say some random guy in Arkansas died of herpes, and I'd feel the same apathy.

Still, it's probably what my choice would have been.

Assuming he commited suicide. 150+ years in jail? No thanks.

 

[MultiVaC]

lol, karma ftw! He escaped a white collar prison only meet Satan, his new cellmate for all eternity. His rectum will feel the demonic wrath.

 

[99.vikram]

Ken Lay dead? Good riddance.

Nope doctors say it was artery disease or whatever.

 

[99.vikram]

Then suicide by junk food

You are incredibly wrong. If you ever get the chance(or anyone else who doesnt know much about this whole Enron fiasco) rent a movie called "Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room".

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

First thing that came to mind: "Whoo hoo!".

GTFO, Enron guy.

---

Lay developed ties with former president George Bush, played golf with president Bill Clinton, and contributed generously to
President George W. Bush's 2000 campaign, as well as his earlier campaign for Texas governor in 1993.

Hmmm.......

 

[The Brick]

Former Enron chief Ken Lay dead - Yahoo!

lol

He did a lot of illegal stuff, which is why he faces 150 years in jail. If he was just a lousy CEO who mismanaged his company into bankruptcy he wouldnt be facing jailtime.

Anti-communism.

Save Enron by misleading the public with incorrect finances all the while he was doing insider trading so they top head honchos came out with all the money. Lots of people lost their life savings just so these assholes could make a couple more bucks, real nice guy there.

:|

 

[15357]

Yeah, well, the opinions at the Korean article of this says things along the lines of: "A sad loss. The US has lost a person who made economic achievements for it."

Yeah. You can see why I thought that. I guess I'm (and the few hundred people that posted that ) were wrong. :/

Yep. They weren't trying to save the company, they were trying to keep the stock simply afloat by lying about the company's profits so they could get all of their money out before they released the real info and let it collapse on everyone else.

Hahaha! I guess you could look at it like he did everyone in the future a large favor by being so devious and getting caught and exposed (even though that probably wasn't his intention). Now we have Sarbanes-Oxley and the like to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again. It is horrible for those who got screwed, but much better for everyone in the future.
