Well they could have started by running a company that was not fictitious with its sales and earning on paper. They also threw away all their ethics as they hurt all of their employees pensions, and savings. Really what they needed to do was grow the company the right way...it may have taken longer...may not have been as profitable, but it would still be in business, people would still have jobs, and neither would have had to face Johnny Lawman.
When will these corporate schemers realize that with a large company like that you are always under the spotlight. I personally think it is their inflated ideas of power and grandeur that make them feel invincible.
I feel so bad for their families and friends that they shamed. Shame on them.

They didn't get their creative book keeping approved by Congress.
What Lay and Skilling did was nothing when compared to what Congress has done for decades with the Social Security funds. Skilling goes to Jail (Lay would have but he died) and members of Congress get re-elected.

They should have been honest and not tried to cover everything up in the first place. Maybe not have done what they did to protect their own assets. Basically, think of the people and not just themselves. They were very dishonest people.

Not have cooked the books and then lied to their employees and shareholders. That would be a good place to start.
