Did Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling get offered plea deals??? Skilling got sentenced to 24 years and 4 months in federal PYITA prison. I see no reason why Madoff should get off with less.
I suspect any deal will involve leaving his wife with something...but I think it will blow up in the Fed’s face..
Skilling was the fall guy. Andrew Fastow (the Chief Financial Officer) was actually the brains behind the machinations. He only got 6 years with a plea deal. Fastow’s wife got a little jail time too.
Some cashed out of Enron at the right time and avoided prosecution. They are now living happily with their former stripper wives in Hawaii on the beach. (You can’t make this stuff up).
Maybe he’ll get the sentence Mr. Lay did...
