SCOTUS refuses to look at eligibility cases but they will hear Skilling’s case. Actually - Rahm and Gorelnick plus Raines and others frauds at Fannie and Freddie were far far worse than Enron. Also the Sandler’s at World Savings.

I read an account of the case: “Conspiracy of Fools” by Kurt Eichenwald.

It wasn’t Skilling or Lay, but Andy Fastow, operating more or less autonomously, who set up the shell accounts and hid the losses. That’s my recollection.

Skilling and Lay were pretty lame in all of this, but Fastow acted like a sociopath.

He turned state’s witness and got off with 10 years or so. He’s probably out by now.
