Ken Lay Dies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now there is a creepy thought. Fake a death to avoid spending the rest of you life in prison. Nah, I don't think he could pull it off, even with millions to bribe.Compromised said:
LOL too funny! While I find the faked suicide theory hard to swallow, the real suicide scenerio is quite believable.Bear669 said:He is probably with that Bre-X guy who 'fell' from a helicopter!
Hey Elmer, you're a funny guy. We need some more humour around this place. Your point is scary until one realizes that any embarrassment from Lay for the Bush administration has been realized. If they were going to kill the guy, they should have done it years ago to save themselves from embarrassment. Nope, I still like the suicide scenerio.elmer3290 said:
Bloody right! Guy deserved to be tarred and feathered, then put in a cage, toured around the country and poked with a sharp stick. Hey, wait a minute. Ken Lay was a veteran. He fought for our freedom to maximize shareholder profits. That would be sacrilegious to piss on his grave. I think my head is going to explode.

I enjoyed this, he died at his vacation home in Colorado, yet at trial he was broke from the Enron collapse and his defence expenses....

Right on..
...CBC's audience is getting smaller and smaller. But the swivel servants and mandarinate in the place that fun forgot actually think having it around is 'good for us' somehow. I'd kill the funding tomorrow.yonge said:
agree....Creed & Money was his sole Motivator. Now what happens to those fat-assed Oil Exec's or Banking pricks, probably nothing, but they are ripping-off consumers none the less....Svend said:I think people should be bussed in from around the country to piss on his gravesite.

Death before appeal
Under U.S law seeing as he died before the appeal he is considered an INNOCENT man!! Check it out!! That will make it even harder for them to get at his assetts..With his $$$ he could have still been living in luxury for years to come, right into his 70's. How bout @ million for a death certificate from some sleazy coroner then off to Brazil???

Lay is just a typical exec. Motivated by greed and profit? Damn right! Like every other corporate leader. Enron put profit ahead of ethics but guess what? That's what corporations do! It's their responsibility to shareholders. The onlydifference with Lay & Enron is they had some different ideas of how to make money which, while creative, were high risk, so the company went belly up.
Go easy on the guy. Morally, 9/10 people in his position would have acted the same way, while in fact 1/1000 people have the ablity and ambition to rise up the corporate ladder as high as he did.
If you want to vilify someone, pick a politician e.g. Bush.

I doubt such an infamous person as he would be able to get away with it.yonge said:
There will surely be an autopsy and DNA verification.
But you never know. Enough money can buy anything in this world.
This is going to sound totally fucked up but I personally know(though none our family talks to the weird prick anymore) a guy who faked his own death.I was at his funeral myself.....and two years later he showed up with a story that he was completely stressed from his businesses and wanted to drop off the face of the earth...he got his maid to lie for him....requested cremation....did everything through his lawyers so no one saw his body....he was/is worth about 200,000,000( i honestly don't care if he faked...I just wish we were closer lolol).....if he can do it....Ken Lay can do it...PERIOD
No. He was not typical, just TOO common....
Enron did NOT go under just because it was pursuing high risk strategies. I know people and companies that dealt with them, and they were a bunch of sleazy crooks long before it caved in.
The culture of greed certainly contributes to the problems, but there are huge numbers of execs that make big bucks without crossing the many lines of Enron.
I spent decades in the biz world, and while I met and had to deal with a large number of scumbags, the vast majority of execs are honest and try to do the right thing.mmouse said:

Maybe I was just lucky....
A confluence of interests often works in the real world, and it is still logical (in the long run- which I agree isnt always the way people think) that doing right by others leads to more 'right stuff' for me.
