Enron - finally someone is going to jail...

Post by Wulfran »

http://edition.cnn.com/2003/BUSINESS/09 ... index.html

Saw this on CNN or CNBC yesterday, along with some analysis that essentially said this treasurer could have faced 25+ years in jail (if convicted) from all his charges, yet his plea bargain doesn't require cooperation/testifying against other Enron/Arthur Andersen execs... and they don't expect he will. Seemed a little weak to me but I also don't know how strong the case was against him. Glad to see some of the perpetrators paying though.

Hooray for justice. 5 years in Club Fed for helping ruin a few million people's retirement investments. There's people doing 10 to 15 for knocking over a liquor store for $75. :roll:

I wonder if the prisoners will feel cheated and take it out on him. I sense a Richard Simmons makeover in the works.

Minimum security federal pens are a joke. He probably has his own room and gets to go home on weekends. He'll be out in 2 or 3 years and will get to live the life of luxury with all that money he stole from hard working people.

The problem with trying to prosecute any of these assclowns is their close ties to Cheney. You think that any DA, state or federal, is going to be allowed to extract testimony that would implicate the Vice President of the US?

Speaking of "goddam fucking moron"s, who here is the one who randomly rants in all caps yet can not figure out how to capitalize the first word in a sentence?

The fucker got off easy. He'll spend two years tops in Club Fed and enjoy his millions. A million dollar fine is barely a slap on the wrist.

The rest of those fuckers will probably get similar treatment. In the end the shareholders will get totally dicked and there will be a lot of americans with no pensions. We will be paying for their retirement with our tax dollars as usual.
