You are exactly right. Andy Fastow should be in jail for 25 years, not Skilling (as much as I dislike Skilling). Fastow was the CFO, for goodness sakes, if anyone was the most culpable, it was Fastow. Nothing ever came of Fastow claiming that certain banks were involved in the Enron downfall, either. Perhaps Fastow had some leverage and used that leverage in the "deal" with prosecutors. Andy conned everyone and even sold out his own wife, although in retrospect, they both got off easy.

Skilling is not the most "likeable" character of the ensemble and came across as an arrogant asshat, a perfect "villain" that was perfect for taking the fall. I'm sure Andy's got lots of $$$ waiting for him somewhere when he gets out of "treatment".

So much for justice. This whole Enron debacle has been unbelievable from beginning to end.

The attorneys and auditors skated, too, at least individually. I'm also surprised that the investment bankers didn't incur any legal ramifications.

"I'm sure Andy [Fastow] has lots of $$$ waiting for him when he gets out of treatment."

But, won't he be subject to civil suits by the employee/stockholders who lost so much?
