Lay, of course, is — was — the founder of Enron, and a former client and friend. Found guilty of a variety of crimes, his death in Aspen last week ends the probability that he would be sentenced to spend the rest of his life in jail. Spitzer and Greenberg, the New York attorney general and the...

The US Justice Department has charged three former British bankers with wire fraud in an alleged £5 million scheme involving Enron. The three former employees of National Westminster Bank - Gary Mulgrew, Giles Darby and David John Bermingham - have been charged in a criminal complaint filed in Houston.

With the secret investments, the bankers were able to siphon off £5 million in income that belonged to their employer, the Justice...
