<<...By allowing the company to meet its internal profit targets, the power deal unleashed the payment of millions of dollars in bonuses and restricted stock to high-ranking executives, including Kenneth L. Lay, then the chief executive, and Jeffrey K. Skilling, then Enron's president, former executives said. "This was absolutely a sham transaction, and it was an 11th hour deal," said one former Enron executive who was briefed on the deal. "We did this deal to get 1999 earnings." This account was confirmed by five other former executives who either worked on the deal or were briefed on it. All the executives insisted on anonymity, concerned either about losing their current jobs or being drawn into the litigation over Enron's collapse...>> 4figureau: When will our Justice Department PROVE TO US that they are committed to getting the terrorists that used to run Enron...?? Who will hold them accountable for their actions...?? Its been almost 250 days since Enron went bancrupt and NO ONE has been indicted...Former CEO Ken Lay has been spotted jogging in Aspen and former President Jeff Skilling has been spotted with his new wife (a former Enron Secretary) on a trip in South America...Now, something is wrong with that...Thousands of employees lost their jobs and their savings...Hundreds of thousands of pension fund holders were negatively impacted by Enron's conduct...Why didn't the captain's of Enron go down with the ship...?? They chose to enrich themselves and conveniently take the 5th or modify the truth later on...It seems like our Government can prosecute potential Al Qaeda terrorists very quickly and efficiently BUT what about former crooks who ran Enron into the ground...??
