As bad as he & some of those other Enron byrds screwed over so many people, it's hard to feel sorry for him..Oh, well...What goes around, comes around...

I wonder what the odds are that he is "cremated", and "ashes scattered"?

An old fable, passed around awhile ago, probably adapted over time to suit current events....




A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey
from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver
the donkey the next day. The next day the farmer drove up
and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey
died."

Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."

The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it
already."

Kenny said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."

The farmer asked, "What ya goanna do with him?"

Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer, " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he
is dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What
happened with that dead donkey?"

Kenny, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars
apiece and made a profit of $898.00."

Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"

Kenny, " Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars
back."

Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

May he rest with the worms and I hope they like eating shit,people that F%#K other people over with intent need to be boofooed by the donkey down in Mexico.Business savy and F#$KING people over with greed and purpose is not part of any business school I ever heard of.Barnum did say that there is a sucker born every minute but WHAT THESE COCKSUCKERS DID WAS CRIMINAL.Maybe his antique selling Bitch should live with some folks in CA that are still paying their electic bills from the ENRON DAYS.F him and all those on the upper tier of FLEMRON,rot in hell but God will forgive you,sell a Porcshe donate and all is well.Darwin in action,the educated f^&king the poor,with government endorsement, AIN'T THIS A GREAT COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way too convenient for the SOB to suddenly die. If the spooks can hide a ruthless dictator with their good old "CIA retirement plan" on a nice little island in the middle of nowhere, imagine how well they could hide a buddy of theirs like him.

I'm generally not one for conspiracy theories but this strikes me as too good to be true. He doesn't get sentenced, his heirs can deny knowing where he stashed all the dough and plead poverty to the feds who will cut them a break on all the fines and what he was supposed to pay back to the poor bastards who made him F-ing rich.

The official cause of death was severe coronary heart disease and quite possibly an undetected previous heart attack. This asshole was richer than the VP and Dick can't sneeze without somebody jumping to attention with a defibrilator. The idea that KL had undiagnosed heart disease is IMHO inconceivable. :bs:

His demise even turns him into something of a folk anti-hero. Here's somebody who screwed his workers and now he not only got convicted but the stress killed him. Great PR to show the system can work (although it allowed him to rip people off in the first place...)

If he's alive, (as Lou Reed once sang) he's laughing 'til he wets his pants.

I created a thread saying that this guy and the other bloke were found guilty.
Then that grumpy guy name Grumpy deleted it and told me it was inherently political.



So how do you get on the "List" ?

Didn't see that one, but this now seems headed in a political direction, so it is time to move on.

If you a problem with me then i suggest you write me privately. Since you choose not to ill answer you here.

Do you think i live on this site to answer your questions night and day? There is no way i can possibly read every thread on this board. That is why we have moderators to assist in the day to day operations of AK.

Had I of seen this post before theres a small chance I would have shut it down at first but most likely would have let it go until someone turned political. After all the death of person does not on its own make a thread political.

Lastly. To all that think i am the sole person on here that deletes, edits or bans people i suggest you look at how long the list of mods are. I do not live on AK. I reclaimed a huge part of my life i should have done years ago !


Either way calling a mod or myself out in public is in very poor taste.
