Ken Lays down

KEN LAY DIES OF HEART ATTACK
Wednesday, July 05, 2006

Kenneth Lay, the man most identified with the biggest business failure in US history, and one of the most controversial business leaders ever, is dead. The 64-year-old apparently suffered a massive heart attack. Ken Lay`s death after a massive heart attack Wednesday morning marks the end of a life that included fame and fortune, but also a conviction as one of the most notorious corporate criminals in US history.

Once considered one of the most powerful men in corporate America, at the peak of his success Lay had access to some of the most powerful leaders in the world. Enron, the company he founded, grew to the 7th largest in the US, but ultimately collapsed in 2001, leaving employees and stockholders broke, many who thought they would retire millionaires.

Government investigators said Lay and his partner Jeffrey Skilling were the masterminds of an elaborate accounting scheme to prop up the dying business and drain millions of dollars for their own personal gain. Lay maintained his innocence even after a guilty verdict last May, and awaiting sentencing that likely would have resulted in Lay spending the rest of his life in a federal prison. Those closest to him say he was at peace with whatever might happen next. That future will never be fulfilled. Ken Lay, dead at age 64. There has been no public comment from Lay`s family today. The Skilling family when told of the news would only say, "We loved him."

i came just a little short of the "ken lay gets the death penalty", but it was off the cuff, so i think it was pretty good.

It seems that Ken's heart isn't the only thing to fail around here.

i don't know how to refute that, but to hang my head in shame, and spite those men my age who are out fucking young women right now and going to parties.

I have no doubt that you hear it almost constantly. When you choose to listen, that is.

the fact that i'm not convinced by empty rhetoric is not an indication that i'm not listening.
