One of those stories you have to read twice to be sure it's not a phony, but it's true; Ken Lay, former Enron CEO died in his sleep today of natural causes. While I do extend my sympathies to his family who are no doubt grieving, it did leave me feeling.. oddly cheated. Ken will never see the inside of a prison cell now. While his obituaries will probably make much of Lay's fall from grace, it would not add up to the sight of him in handcuffs, escorted off to start sentence.

Perhaps Ken had the last laugh after all.
