I wish I'd seen a photo of Ken Lay in prison washing dishes in an orange jumpsuit. He was a first-class thief (and a convicted one, whatever the "erasure" of the judgment of 12 of his peers) and deserved hard time.

Maybe so. He certainly should bear blame, since he was at the helm.

However, there were more chiefs than Indians at Enron - every large-scale scam requires them. Lay was probably guilty of knowingly letting it happen - but it took a LOT of scammers to MAKE it happen, and many of those folks are still alive, and within the reach of justice.
