I wonder if the employees and pension funds they fleeced have any chance of recovering any money.

Sounded like their testimony didn't go very well. Guess the reports were accurate.

I always thought the defense that there was no fraud was pretty silly.

Isn't it amazing that a jury can quickly convict on a convoluted financial scam while another jury hemmed & hawed in the penalty-phase for a convicted terrorist, Moussaui (sp?). It simply can't be that the terrorism case was more complicated than a high-powered series of fraudulent financial schemes.

Sorry my father-in-law isn't alive to hear the verdict. Enron cost him $200,000 and he never bought a share of their stock (they acquired a perfectly solvent company he already owned then bankrupted it).

Looks like the Dems and their culture of curruption are taking a beating.

On to the next Enron, which will be a company you so admire now, as you did Enron a decade ago!

I'd say sentence both of them to 50 years in prison without parole plus expropriation of ALL their assets. Too many people have suffered from their deeds

I guess Lay's "Don't convict me, I'm a dumbass!" defense strategy didn't work too well...

Lay and Skilling's biggest mistake was not running for Congress. Enron's accounting was much more ethical than that practiced by the federal government.

Hopefully the government strips all the ill-gotten wealth from these two thieves and distributes it to their many victims.

Then throw them in the slammer and throw away the key!
