Ken Lay Sentenced Early
Judegement came from a Court Most High:
Enron founder Kenneth Lay died early Wednesday in Aspen, Colo., a family spokeswoman said.Lay, 64, was awaiting sentencing after being found guilty of conspiracy and fraud in the Enron trial in May.
In a statement, spokeswoman Kelly Kimberly said, "The Lays have a very large family with whom they need to communicate, and out of respect for the family we will release further details at a later time."
CNN affiliate KPRC in Houston said Lay was admitted to the Aspen Valley Hospital overnight with a massive coronary.
On May 25, Lay was found guilty of 10 counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of Enron, the energy company he founded that eventually grew into the nation's seventh largest company before it imploded after an accounting scandal.
The sentence cannot be appealed.
It's a small measure of justice for the Enron employees that Lay does not get to enjoy a comfortable retirement after a few years in jail.
As an added bonus, while Enron victims are working into their eighties, Lay will be roasting weenies over a VERY hot fire.
