No, Lay's layers have a valid claim against Lay's estate, as do any of the people he supposedly defrauded (assuming they filed or will file within the statute of limitations). His widow will have to hunker down with a lawfirm and defend all the junk. His lawyers may end up with most if not all of his money. Litigation could burn it up so creditors never get a dime.

I, thankfully, never had a dime involved in Enron, but if I did, I'd rather see all of Lay's leftover cash eaten up by legal fees than to have his family get to keep it, even if it meant I never got anything back either. We can argue the legal technicalities all day, but morally his estate appears to consist mostly of stolen property.

Rush just read from Washington Post a story decrying all the evils Lay will miss due to his untimely death (i.e. rape, foul prison air and food, etc.) yet the Left does not mind guys like Marc Rich and George Soros running around jet setting, living high on the hog, without a care in the world, and Lay was a piker compared to them.

I saw a good legal quote yesterday that backs up what you're saying - lemme go find it.
