Enron

I feel badly for Ken Lay. Not too bad for Skilling, and not nearly as bad for either as I do for the people who trusted them and who were screwed out of their financial future. But to say that this sends a clear warning to potential white collar criminals -- I think the only thing that would do that is mass jailings, in bulk and frequently. Which I strongly doubt will happen. So long as there is easy money to be had, there will be people who take it.
