Enron Trial: Ex-CEO and founder found guilty for fraud 1544
-
Denis, there’s still the appeal process and this case could be tied up for years. If it were me, doing the sentencing I’d make these guys do what we have to do while they’re serving time (e.g., test sampling, filling out control documents, looking at the CRT for hours on end)
-
Disagree…the convicted felons must be punished commensurate with the crimes committed…they should be forced to listen to Taylor Hicks greatest hits from American Idol and serve a mandatory sentence of 20 yrs. with no opportunity for early release. Of course, this would require 24 hr observation for risk of suicide during confinement.
-
Maybe both of these ideas could be combined … It wouldn’t hurt for these guys to fill out SOX forms and go thru the same misery they brought up on us
-
I agree with Milan and Harry…
Maybe there could be a federal chain gang for convicted SOx felons.
The prison system could lease these prisoners to companies to do menial tasks…or, they could just cut the grass out in the hot sun of corporate headquarters to remind everyone indoors at HQ what happens to those who break the law.
Just a thought.

Well I guess that they could join the one that Bernie Ebers started down in Mississippi :lol:

In many respects, this is a sad ending to this part of the Enron case, as the wrongful accounting practices of Enron and other companies led to SOX regulations …

So he escapes justice in the end.

After embezzling that much money it would be possible to find a substitute for the casket and stage a death. I like to think he’s in Barbados or Cayman Islands escaping justice…

In other news, Fastow was sentenced yesterday…6 years in prison.

The prison name generator for Andy Fastow comes up with ‘towel boy’…quite befitting since Fastow will do his 6 yrs. at the ‘Club Fed’ aka, Federal Prison for high profile persons convicted of non-violent crimes.
He’ll probably be busy while serving time providing towel service to his fellow inmates when he’s not occupied writing his autobio.
Sorta ironic that Andy Dufresne, from Shawshank Redemption, and Fastow shared the same first name and profession before conviction.
