I believe that part of the issue is that the Enron execs bailed on their stock prior to the news coming out, but due to some other corporate dealings at the time, the employee's stock was locked so that they could not sell it out of their 401Ks. I agree that there is some responsibility on the individual employee's part for being too heavily invested in Enron, but the fact that they were prevented from selling during the crisis is cause for some added scrutiny. If they hadn't been prevented from selling their stock, they could have gotten out in the low 20s or teens. I don't know all of the gory details, I am sure that others do.
