Fastow's a smart boy. Criminal genius, will write a book and get richer and richer.
He's already so rich it hurts. His wife and her family own shopping malls all over the southwest. A lot of stuff was put in her name originally, it did't have to be transferred.
They have a lot of influence over the court system too. There was a big scandal years ago where the wife's family was secretly paying off politicians and LEOs and others. The SEC got involved, IIRC. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fastow are up to their ears in this. She got one year, he got about 5 but will be out earlier.
Everyboy is happy that *somebody* is getting punished and Fastow skates. It makes no sense.
