Mephisto,

Re: Maybe Duncan has information on money on that Ken Lay's never reported to to the IRS.

You are such a joker. Don't be a fool. The money that Lay has salted away isn't in the U.S. banking system. There isn't any way for the IRS to get at it. The best that they can hope to do is to possibly start a criminal proceeding and then all that will happen is another Marc Rich episode. Kenny Boy already has his nest in the Caymans, and you can be assured that he's looked at other hospitable locations at even greater arm's length to American extradition proceedings than that venue, so what can Duncan do.. embarass Lay? Sorry, too late for that.

As I was driving home tonight, I reflected upon the delicious symmetry between Ken Lay's ascendancy to the gentrified heights of Houstonian society by means of his largesse, and how Marc Rich was able to enamour himself to society in Zug, Switzerland with his largesse for local charities. I can see Ken fitting in in any number of venues who would welcome a generous benefactor. Perhaps not the AFL-CIO offices in Houston, but maybe somewhere else....
