Kenny Boy Lay? When's he going to be charged?

[JanMichael]

Hell...Where is he anyway?

I think that I heard that he was reforming ENRON somewhere as we speak, is this true?

3. Yep. That's what I intend to do.

5. I have been giving this some thought and I believe that someone from

Enron will go down during next year's election. I think it will be Ken Lay who came in rather late to that game.

6. I have the feeling that...

... the administration is doing all it can to foot-drag long enough for the statute of limitations to expire on Kenny-Boy.

The last I heard, the government was still negotiating with his lawyers about the papers in his possession, which ones were corporate (and therefore subject to review via subpoena) and which ones were personal (which he could withhold without charges being filed first, since giving them up would be a Fifth Amendment violation against self-incrimination). His lawyers are insisting that all his papers fall into the latter category.

Those negotiations could go on for a long time, and without at least some of them (in the absence of someone ratting on him), there probably won't be a case against him. Pretty hard to swallow that the guy at the top had no knowledge of what was going on (especially since he has consistently advised government to deregulate derivatives trading), but he'd probably happily assume, briefly, the sobriquet of being incompetent, until all the crap stops flying. That moniker would quickly disappear when he's finally beyond prosecution, and looking for another corporation in which to hawk his wares.

Cheers.
