he'd rather suicide than go to jail:

The article said he reportedly had a massive coronary...you really think it was suicide?

[mr_j]

honestly? yes. it really wouldn't surprise me at all.

[Irock]

Pfft, he got out easy. You know how much extra work Sarbanes-Oxley is for me?

No, really the whole thing just sucks from start to finish.

[sam]

While I wouldn't be suprised if he had done himself in, it could have been the hefty amount of stress that ten thousand years in federal prison he was facing that brought on the heart attack.

[mr_j]

still sounds a bit fishy to me...how someone would 'leak' the information, whilst the PR people are trying really hard to 'spin' it, and said that they did not want to disclose the cause of his death until some point in the future...if it had been a heart attack, then i dont see any real reason for such an initial cover-up...

[ifihadahifi]

Oooooh! I love a good conspiracy theory!

[Rubbs]

Well I doubt if he is getting off easy.

RIP ---> my ass

"Enron was his creation, he nursed it like a child, and the death of Enron was like the death of a child to him."

What a tragic hero.

[roach]

I did it.

[ree-ree]

Good Riddance to bad rubbish.

He died at his vacation home in Aspen. Poor thing.

Pfft, he got out easy. You know how much extra work Sarbanes-Oxley is for me?[/size]

hopefully not as much as it is for me at the moment....

I honestly don't think it was suicide. Hell, he could have gotten himself a cherry deal at a countryclub prison. I'm guessing the stress got the best of him.

HOW DID I NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS? all i hear about is the effing korean missile threat which has been a threat for like 10 years so who cares anymore?
