Was a moral justice served when Ken Lay?

Question

died of a heart attack?

All the lives of Enron employees down the tubes due to corrput accounting practices.

Interesting thought Joker. :)

Hirosan, what IS the old saying about speaking of the dead?

Answer 1

Not really his life style never changed while many of the people he ripped off lost everything.
justice would have been to make him a homeless dude
see how he likes standing in a line for food stamps!
letting him keep his mansion and maids and grounds keepers and Private jet until he died wasn't justice

Answer 2

Moral justice? No, I wouldn't call it that...

There is no question that Enron's collapse, the trial and the conviction were all enormously stressful and painful for Lay.

"You are twisting in the wind and it consumes your every waking moment," says a former energy trader who also faced criminal charges from the industry scandals following Enron's collapse.

Then, on Friday, federal prosecutors asked a judge to order Lay and former Enron executive Jeffrey K. Skilling to turn over $182.2 million in assets, arguing that their homes and other assets were acquired by fraud.

These stressful revelations of wrong doings and the consequences to be paid are the reasons for Ken Lay's massive heart attack.

Answer 3

There is an old saying about speaking ill of the dead. While Mr. Lay and his cohorts damaged many lives, I do not feel that justifies lilnking "moral justice" to something we have no control over.

Answer 4

I think that he got off easy. The only good that can come out of it is that even though he's dead, they can still collect from his estate and seize his assets, something the Feds were in the process of doing anyways.

Answer 5

I agree with Joker. His death is suspicious.
It looks like his 'friends' in the White House did nothing to try and help him throughout his trial.

Answer 6

I think his death is questionable. Suicide or Government sponsered murder. He knew a bit too much about the Bushs business practices.

Answer 7

No he got the easy way out. He should have had to sit his butt in prison for 20 years or more. What a jerk.

Answer 8

it was suicide.
