It's not a matter of being superior. I was not boasting about having a normal reitrement plan anymore than I would boast that I pay my electric bill so my lights don't get turned off.

Diversification isn't some kind of extraordinary achievement: it's extremely simple to do and a basic responsibility.

There is no Schadenfreude here - I'm not happy these people ruined their retirements, but I'm not going to pretend that what they did was wise.

And I did have a personal stake in Enron - I lost a chunk of cash in those shares I wouldn't mind having back.

I'm not quite sure I understand why you think this fella is getting railroaded. He committed fraud, i.e. he stole money via deceit. The apparent stupidity of his victims does not excuse his actions. The magnitude of his theft should determine the magnitude of his sentence.
