Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for his role in one of the biggest corporate scandals in U.S. history, CNN confirms.
So long, Jeff... don't drop the soap!
Wow; sounds like Ken Lay demise makes Skilling THE new Enron posterboy. He would have gotten less than 24 years if Ken Lay were around to take some of the heat. Ken's way of sticking to the guy who turned on him.
Understood but stewart received 28 months hmmmm
Point of Order:
Under Federal sentencing guidelines Skilling has to serve 85% of sentence i.e. 85% of 292 months sentence = 20.4 years.
Of comparative interest, the two people that plea bargained in the horrific February 20, 2003 West Warwick, Rhode Island nightclub fire, that was started by a pyrotechnic device used by the rock band “Great White”, killing 100 people and injuring another 200 in a matter of minutes – they both pleaded no-contest and received 4 years in a low security prison and qualify for a work release program. Under state sentencing guidelines they quality for parole in only 16 months.
Very obvious this country values the loss of money over the loss and injury of innocent human life.
Great news
