Well that sucks.
His wife and her family still have the billions that he transfered to them.
Sounds a little excessive. You have a source?
I'll try to find the source again.
Billions may be an overstatement. Many millions at least.
Fastow was running money through sham companies in the Bahamas and elsewhere.
There was a thread on FR about Enron with links to some interesting websites. I'll try to track them down.
How much is true? Not sure. I do know at least one main individual in this and according to that person Fastow was the mastermind. Actually I think that is agreed upon by almost everybody.
The first one to the DA's office always wins - at least in one game. It makes me wonder what kind of information the terrorist lawyer gave the feds to get such a sweet deal.
FYI
Today on AOL there is an article entitled: Skilling Asks Judge to Toss Guilty Verdict.
In it they mention that Fastow stole millions of dollars from Enron whereas Lay, Skilling, and others did not. They were convicted of conspiracy and lots of other stuff but not of stealing. (Basically they were convicted because they didn't turn on their colleagues.)
Fastow was the mastermind of the scams and actually stole millions from the company. He gets off because he testified against the others. He and his wife's family still have that money.
The MSM don't want to talk about Fastow getting off because they know the public wants someone to blame.
