Skilling was nothing but a common thief and a very greedy one at that. Try stealing from Uncle Sam by not paying your taxes. For cheating on your tax return for a few dollars you will get the book thrown at you. Stallings stole more than a few dollars. He is lucky he did not get life. I never invested in Enron so I do not know what it is like to be wiped out at age 65 when you are about to retire even if you are foolish enough to put all your money in one basket (ENRON). The company went down not because of inept management but of grand theft. Don't worry about Stallings; he'll be out in a few years and will still have plenty of time to enjoy the many millions he still has stashed away.
Sure. So?

I assume you mean Skilling. Life was not on the table.
I never invested in Enron so I do not know what it is like to be wiped out at age 65 when you are about to retire even if you are foolish enough to put all your money in one basket (ENRON).
Again, if you were on the verge of retirement but were stupid enough to have your entire life savings invested in a single, highly volatile growth stock you were begging for it.
The company went down not because of inept management but of grand theft.
This statement means that you did not follow the story very closely.
Don't worry about Stallings; he'll be out in a few years and will still have plenty of time to enjoy the many millions he still has stashed away.
Assuming you mean Skilling, I don't know why you're commenting on a story you haven't done any real reading on.
Not only did he receive the 24.3 year sentence, which carries a required federal minimum of 85% service guaranteeing him 20.6 years behind bars, he was stripped of all his assets.
He has no millions to enjoy and he won't be seeing the outside of a prison until 2027.
