Ken Lay Dies of Heart Attack

Just saw this story on MSNBC. Ken Lay died of a heart attack in his Colorado home. Too good for that son of a bitch. As many lives as he ruined, he should have died in prison. He should have been sentenced a lot quicker too. :thefinger
 
Agreed. He being dead though is not the worst thing that could happen. Burn in Hell Ken, if there is one.

The man was 64 years old and heading to prison. I don't buy the heart attack, to convenient. I guess his family has the right to say what they want. I still go with my first instincts and when I got the CNN breaking news report heart attack didn't enter my mind.

Like how many licks to the center of a tootsie-pop we may never know the truth of how he died.

My mind formed a conspiracy when I first heard the news as well. Well, I just hope it was painful whatever the cause.

I was more in the "suicide" neighborhood, not a conspiracy. Conspiracy I think would have taken place before the trial or at least before it ended. Possibly in a case of fear of exposure by someone. Since he did make it through the trial OK, I think that tosses that out. Being a old man fearing prison...now thats a whole different kettle of fish as they say.

Actually, I meant suicide as well. The conspiracy would be the cover up of that suicide.
 
As soon a I heard about this "Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead" started playing in my head.

Men like him are destroying America, not immigrant workers or North Korean missiles or Iranian nuclear programs. IMO

He's lucky he wasn't given over to the mob of workers he stole from. And the worst part is he cheated again by pussing out. I wanted to know he was getting the punishment he deserved in a Federal pound-me-in-the-ass Penitentiary.
 
I don't understand why, after being convicted, he wasn't spending his time in jail until his sentencing. If anyone was ever a flight risk, a millionaire in his sixties looking at spending the rest of his life in prison is. I hope someone can tell me that they, at the very least froze all of his assets and bank accounts. The news said that he was convicted about forty days ago, and wasn't due to be sentenced for another sixty days. Getting to spend a little less than a third of a year free after a conviction seems pretty lax to me.

Oh, and I am now hearing that he died in the hospital near his home, not actually at home.

I agree. If that were you or I you could bet we would have been turned over to the prison officials upon conviction without even getting a proper good-bye to our loved ones (not that we would deserve it if we did what this bastard did).

Other than what he may have set up in trust for his family, he was flat broke when he died. about $100 million in debt.

There will be people going after his estate just as they would be when he was alive I'm sure.

The death does seem a little convenient. Not that he couldn't just have a heart attack. If I was a conspiracy theorist, which I'm not, I would say that he either committed suicide because he couldn't handle prison, he faked his own death, or somebody that was pissed off at him for loosing all that money had him killed and made it look like a heart attack. Of course maybe after living that soft life for so long he just couldn't cope with a punishment that normal people have to live through so something in his body snapped. In any case it isn't like I will feel too sorry for him because of his death.

The news has said that the government will still probably attempt to sieze his money even though it will now be inherited by whoever inherits it because it's still considered "ill gotten goods" or profits or something like that.

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
I think any opinions or ideas I might have come up with, have been covered...guess I got here late.
 
I've heard all over the news today that his conviction wont stand now because there's some allowance in the law that states that if a person dies, after being convicted of a crime, but before their first appeal, then that conviction is wiped away. I think the battle over his cash will get pretty ugly with a bunch of legal maneuvering.
