Finally - a little justice

Post #117,447 by lincoln 9/11/03 8:07:29 AM Reply	Finally - a little justice Ex-treasurer receives 5 years in plea agreement Former Enron treasurer Ben Glisan Jr. was sentenced to five years in federal prison Wednesday, becoming the highest-level company official to plead guilty and the first executive to be incarcerated. [...] In addition to his prison term, Glisan faces three years of supervision after his release and forfeited any claim to more than $900,000 the government has already seized, plus $412,000 in taxes he has paid on that money. Judge Hoyt told Glisan that while on supervision he cannot be employed in a fiduciary role nor can he have a position of trust at a publicly traded company. Glisan also agreed not to make any money off his story.

I have a hard time blasting him - he's a small fish who made a million on $5,000 (+). Fastow (iirc) make much more. It's clear the government is going to try and pin it all on Fastow (hey, look, the underling pleaded guilty, so he MUST be guilty) - but I think Fastow is going to escape conviction, he was too smart and got his action approved by Lay. And I haven't seen ANY charges against Lay.

True justice won't be serverd until we see both Fastow and Lay in orange jumpsuits, wearing leg irons, and spending 20 years behind bars. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/resume.htm\|VB/SQL resume] [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/tandem_resume.htm\|Tandem resume] [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]
