Just saw this come across the wires. Think the stress of the last few years took its' toll on him???

I wonder how this news will be received in Houston?

Karma can be a bi*ch.
I love how he's been convicted and awaiting sentencing and dies not in HOU but in Snowmass, CO. Give it a week and the black helicopter crowd will have him living in Aruba because he's buddy buddy with Bush-Cheney.

Now the government can take half of the stuff they didn't get through fines. Love that income redistribution, I mean estate tax.

yeah if he had been convicted on 11 charges or whatever why the hell was he vacationing in CO and not in prison?

It's not Karma.

It's just another chapter in a very sad story about corporate greed.

I imagine a few people have had heart attacks as a result of Enron.

Stryker, this has nothing to do with the estate tax, so spare us your rhetoric.

Didn't one guy commit suicide w/ a handgun?

my favorite part of the story...

"“I guess when you’re facing the rest of your life in jail and in your heart you know you’re an innocent man, I guess it’s too much to bear,” said close friend Willie Alexander."

When a rich person dies, it always has to do with the estate tax.

Another little lesson for all you newbie investors out there, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Or as GZA from Wu Tang Financial would say, "You better diversify yo bonds ni%%@".

I saw an interview last night wiht a former mid-level Enron employee, who lost all her retirement in the scandal. My favourite quote of her's, when asked about Lay's death was "... Well it is easy to die." Ouch!

Better hope he's not cremated, then everyone is going to be saying he faked it.

On a side note, if you had to fake your own death where would you spend the rest of your days? Me, Fiji here I come

Depends- am I on the run or not? If people are looking for me, then I would go against the grain and hide in Quebec because nobody would think to look there.

If I am free and clear? I would escape to Richard Branson's private island that I saw on some celebrity homes show once.

I was there back in 2000, right after the coup. It is a beautiful place made even better at that moment because everything was so cheap as they tried to attract visitors back.

If on the lam, I guess Iceland because nobody goes looking for anybody there.

If not on the lam so much, maybe Portugal because it's like Spain's cheaper cousin.

If you're faking your own death, are you on the run to some degree anyway? But if I'm really trying to hide out, I think it's Sweden for me. One of the only places on Earth a 6'5" toe head doesn't stand out.

Just make sure that you hit Iceland in the summer. It's day light about 22 hours so the bars don't close on the weekend and you can even get a good burrito there. As for winter, I don't know but I've heard wife swapping is pretty accepted in Greenland...food for thought.
