Lay and Skilling found guilty of nearly all charges...
Former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling and company founder Ken Lay were found guilty of fraud and conspiracy charges. A long awaited and well deserved prison stay awaits these two. That is unless Boy George decides to pardon his buddies. It certainly would be a quid pro quo if you look at the political donation history of these two. Kenny "Boy" Lay's contribution history reads $651,760 to Republicans, $61,960 for Democrats, and $62,150 to special interests. He served on the Bush-Cheney Transition Advisory Committee and was rumored to be a strong candidate for the Secretary of the Treasury before the whole annoying fraud thing came to light. Skilling has likewise been an ATM to right wing Washington with a campaign contribution history of $162,750 to Republicans, $9,750 to Democrats, and $50,783 classified as special interests.
Looks like Bush lost a couple of "pioneers"!
Will Shrub pardon the @ssholes? Stay tuned.
