Ken Lay dead!
HOUSTON - Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay, who was convicted of helping perpetuate one of the most sprawling business frauds in U.S. history, died Wednesday of a heart attack in Colorado. He was 64.
The Pitkin, Colo., Sheriff’s Department said officers were called to Lay’s house in Old Snowmass, Colo., shortly after 1 a.m. Mountain time. He was taken to Aspen Valley Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:11 a.m. Lay, who lived in Houston, frequently vacationed in Colorado.
Family spokeswoman Kelly L. Kimberly issued a statement saying, “Ken Lay passed away early this morning in Aspen. 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.”

Ah well, feel bad for his family, as of late he's brought them more than enough attention of the sort that I'm sure they'd be happier without.

Fuck em all - they all shared in the ill-gotten wealth over the years.
Sadly the 4,000 Enron employees who got nothing will never see a penny - while his family lives in ultimate luxury.
Fuck em all.

The thousands of people who lost their retirement savings because of this pricks greed. Some of those retirements amounted to seven figures. How happy would you be if you lost $1 million+ thanks to your boss?
The only good news is, with the other dude on trial or whatever, people may still be able to go after the money.
If Lay's family had any decency, they would offer the money themselves.
