Avoided jail time.

[BurlyShirley]

faked own death to avoid prison?

He and biggie smalls and 2pack are all rocking out somewhere in the caribbean right now.

[valve bouncer]

Wow, he had a heart.

[riverside73]

Whatever......at least we won't spend thousands more in tax dollars babysitting the d-bag in jail!!! Good riddance you crook!

Sounds all too plausible.

[Westy]

Wow, he had a heart.


His MkIV 10 Watt slurry pump failed.

[sanjuro]

suicide

[Tenchiro]

I was wondering what all the fireworks were for last night.

I need to see a body.

[Heidi]

suicide

That was my initial thought. Easy way out.

[fluff]

I need to see a body.
Any body or Ken Lay's body in particular?

Would you know if was not Ken Lay's body anyway?

It does seem too easy.

[sanjuro]

This isn't exactly Gil Grissom making an official statement. Who knows how he died at this point, or if he is really dead...

Lay died of a heart attack, his pastor in Houston said.

"Apparently, his heart simply gave out," said Pastor Steve Wende of Houston's First United Methodist Church. Lay, who lived in Houston, frequently vacationed in Colorado.

Why the hell was a guilty man vacationing in Colorado?

Why the hell was a guilty man vacationing in Colorado?

Guilty....and still wealthy!

Interesting concept....and maybe a more fitting punishment would have been to strip him of his wealth and assets and put him on the street. IMO that would be far worse than sending a rich guy to white collar prison.

[escapeartist]

what a bummer.....

That should be the punishment for these d-bags that trick people into giving them ther life savings
:redhot:

[formermtboarder]

thats a shame, i had hoped to watch him rot in prison somewhere

[narlus]

Death is the great equalizer.

i'm sure it really placates the people who's retirement funds he fleeced...

[dhbuilder]

exactly.

i also hear he croaked while residing at his aspen home.
the fact that he still had that luxury at his disposal is a crime unto itself.

now let's hope jeffery skilling.......

[escapeartist]

It was very tactfull of him to die right before going to jail, rather than right before robbing everyone blind...

[dhbuilder]

seems rather funny that he had no previous history of heart problems. hmmm.

[jimmydean]

Man, the thought of giving back $43M I worked so hard to steal would make my heart stop for sure!

[dogwonder]

Seconded...although I concur with the other point at least he won't fleece the taxpayers for paying his prison cost...

[escapeartist]

Yeah, I call BS on that one. My money's on him smoking Cubans in a secret underground Whitehouse bunker with Dubya.

[Upgr8r]

I'd check to see what kind of life insurance policies he had and check flights to Rio. If I was his insurance company I'd want some very detailed proof (fingerprints, DNA, retina scans) before I paid out any $$

I think people would pass the hat around to ensure he spent his retirement in maxsec.

[dogwonder]

and get this, because he's "dead" he doesn't have to pay the plaintaffs anything...definitely way too convenient.

I wouldn't give one nickel more to that guy even to watch him rot. I would rather have seen him pay for his own prison time by digging ditches.

[ioscope]

Rich people don't die. They go to moneyland. ... or Mexico.
