Whip that Martha a good'un seems to be the agenda. She must have made a boatload of powerful enemies. Has anyone from Enron gone to prison yet? They wiped out countless millions of employee retirement money, but I guess punishing Martha was more urgent....
Two are currently in prison, another 12 are awaiting sentencing, another 6 are currently in trial court today in Houston, and another 8 are awaiting trial.
It's hardly been ignored.
My point, exactly. Skewering her is the sport of the day. I almost feel sorry for her. I don't excuse what she did, but... Remember Michael Milkin's (at least I think it was him, 80's, white collar, big embezzlement and trading fraud) country club prison, complete with tennis courts?? It seems surreal that a 'civilized' country like ours could punish Martha so aggressively and the Enron guys, who took the life savings of others, are talking about her at their weekly golf game. Did the Enron guys even have to make restitution or disclose where the stolen money is??
Dare I say it? It almost seems like they are going after her so aggressively because she is a woman, it's hard to think of a guy in a similar position or convicted of a similar crime that got as much publicity as she did and who didn't get more than a slap on the wrist and without restitution, no less.
