    You know, dude looked older than 64. Saying, something to be said.

    But then again I wonder how many people think he pulled a 2pac. That's what I thought at first.

    Was it assassination made to LOOK like a heart attack?

    He's caked up enough to make this actually happen...but i doubt it. I'd rather die than spend the rest of my life in prison. especially at 64.

    Rio=hell?

    There is the gates of hell scene in Black Orpheus.

    By the way I don't go for faked death theories.

    the kind of hard-hitting journalism I've come to expect from Fox News.

    "he always wore a tidy blue suit."

    "he was always nice to us reporters."

    was there even a mention of his slimeball crimes in that little "dispatch" from Houston?!?

    I don't like Ken Lay either but uh, dude wasn't exactly on Hitler's level.

    Before everyone gets all up in arms over a Hitler comparison, please bear in mind that few in history have ever been on Hitler's level. That is precisely why comparing someone--like Lay--to Hitler is effective as a form of hyperbole.

    I think he was just making a comparison of the fact that he died before paying for his crimes. Not that he was as evil as hitler.

    F'real. Lay's money should be given to the Enron employees he so roundly fucked.

    If Lay cannot legally be found guilty, then hopes of any sort of compensatory package (to be awarded at his sentencing) would have just died with him. If this is indeed the case, then Lay has fucked over his employees one final time.

    The civil case will be against his estate, but they can't use his conviction as leverage because it never happend. They will probably settle anyway, but it will be for a smaller amount.
