Enron founder Ken Lay dies
64-year-old former energy executive dead.
July 5 2006: 10:06 AM EDT


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Enron founder Kenneth Lay died early Wednesday in Aspen, a family spokeswoman said. He was 64.

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."

In May, Lay was found guilty of nine counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of Enron, the company he founded that grew into the seventh largest company before it imploded after an accounting scandal.

Our prayers and thoughts go to his family.

Thoughts and prayers to the family because the man will enjoy a toasty eternity. He (among others) caused insurmountable grief to many, many hard working families... that's the tragedy.

He got the easy way out. I was looking forward to him rotting in jail. Try to stay cool in hell "Kenny Boy".

Try out death tomorrow and see which you think is best.

Skilling was probably thinking, now if I can get the Appeals Court to call the first trial a mistrial, I can now point at the empty chair.

Better still, how about wondering every time you stroll out of your cell to work, exercise, or take a shower is when Tyrone or Bubba or Paco and/or their friends are going to once again [deleted].......................

Call me skeptical of our prison system, but I do not think that Skilling will end up (no pun intended) in the same facility as Tyronne, Bubba or Paco. He will certainly get time but his worst treatment will probably be the chaffing from the ankle device he will have to wear after he is released in a couple of years.

The Washington Capitals just drafted a goalie whose first name is Semen. I'm not making this up.

Jeff will end up at one of the "Country Club" prisons in the Federal System. No, he won't be rooming with the Chris Meloni character from that prison series that HBO had awhile back, but he will not get to go to a fancy restaurant and will have to eat pork and beans for dinner.

Actually, the Caps' draftee is named Simeon Varlamov (pronounced, according to the team website): "sim-YHON."

They did, however, recently re-sign Alexander Semin.
