    Enron founder Kenneth Lay dies at 64

    I don't believe in heaven, or hell, but in this case I'm excepting.

    Burn in hell Ken.

    He got off way too easy. I hope he rots in hell.
    Because rich has nothing to do with money.

    Of all the ways to go...

    I'm guessing that the entire West Coast and every ex-Enron employee who was heavily invested would have never picked "at his vacation home in Colorado" as the way they wanted that bastard to die. He didn't even have the decency to suffer behind bars and lose all his worldly posessions before going.

    Thanks for nothing Kenny-boy - rotting in hell is too good for you.

    Another example of how money buys you justice in this country. While the taxpayers spent ten's of millions on the trial, he posted a million dollar bail and spent his last days in a penthouse apartment.

    What a joke.

    I wonder how this effects his creditors? I am sure his wife is still liable.

    agreed. interesting timing
    could he be partying it up in mehico?

    edit: probably not as it sounds like an in-hospital death...
    damn, the guy racked up $100 mil in personal debt too.

    Your life is never 'ruined' by someone other person's actions, turn those lemons into lemonade.

    But he was a crook, no doubt. Think he committed suicide? The family is stalling about making a full comment, saying they have to notify everyone first.

    Too bad he never saw the inside of a jail, even if it would have been a country club one.

    How amusing that he, in addition to destroying hundres of people's dreams, claimed to have personal debt yet was relaxing at his home in Aspen and died at a resort which has a slope named "AMF".

    How fitting! Adios motherfucker!

    Unless that person's actions made your life savings go "poof" and you're too old to start over. Talk to anyone over 60 who is looking for a job. Unless "greeter at Wallyworld" fits your bill you're fucked.

    But you have to admit, that's a tough lemon to squeeze.

    Ok, ok, so I'm an optimist. Guilty as charged.
    Metaphysical-mumbo jumbo-hippie-positive thinking, combined with kick ass action has always worked for me.

    Yea, I hope they make double sure that the body is really him. I could see this slimeball pulling the "switch-erru" and "retiring" to somewhere in the south Pacific..........
