Ken Lay takes easy way out

Clearly worried about becoming someone's bitch, convicted Enron founder Ken Lay decided to die to avoid prison. Perhaps we will see nigerian email scam letters from Mrs. Lay in the near future.

[wik] Geeklethal reminds me that that's "Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison."

Was he going to federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prison?

Well if I had a choice, I'd probably go with heart attack over a gangbanger breaking off a pencil in my liver.

Well, I was all set to not to speak ill of the dead- I mean, what a hell of a shit way to go, with your life work in smithereens, you reviled and hated, and about to do hard time, and then you keel over clutching your chest - but then a covey of high-powered people at the place I work started chuckling it up about cyanide pills and easy ways out.

Whatever happened to giving the dead a week?

Less commented upon, at least in most stories I've read about Kenny Boy's demise, is the fact that, since he died before his appeals were exhausted, he died a technically innocent man.

So now the civil suits have first and only claim on his remaining assets, and the Feds have got dick.

And somehow, I don't think the University of Missouri is going to use his new status as "non felon" to finally fill the professorship he endowed. And Rich Kinder is still happy he left Enron 10 years ago.
