Ken Lay: The Legacy
Ken Lay is dead, quite possibly of a broken heart. The founder and former chief executive of Enron Corp. had only two months earlier been convicted on six counts of fraud and one count of conspiracy and was looking, according to the Houston Chronicle, at somewhere between 12 and 25 years in the slammer.
Here is what Lay leaves behind. To read the footnotes in the document below and on the following two pages, roll your mouse over the passages highlighted in yellow. To read the original document, obtained from Enron's still-extant Web site, click here.
