It does seem strange that the CEO of a corperation drenched in corruption and theft is getting off scot free. I was just trying to get more information, possibly from people who followed the case more. dy156 was helpful, but brief.
onetime, do you have information on the case I lack?

As ustwo said, these cases take a looong time to come to court and the details of Lay's involvement haven't been made clear. The argument that Bush is taking care of his buddy is completely unsubstantiated by any facts. In contrast, there has been evidence presented that said Enron leaders attempted to get the Bush administration to step into the inquiry and wield their power but they refused.
In some cases CEO's are figureheads while in others they control virtually every action of a corporation. As with anything, they are innocent until proven guilty of something, after all isn't that a fundamental principle of our nation?
