A jury today found Kenneth Lay, the founder of Enron, guilty on all six counts of fraud and conspiracy in one of the biggest financial scandals in US history.
The jury of eight women and four men also found the company's former chief executive, Jeffrey Skilling, guilty of conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud.
Skilling faced 28 counts of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading and lying to auditors, with a maximum sentence of 275 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
Lay faced six counts of fraud and conspiracy, with a combined maximum punishment of 45 years.
It is about time that these men are thrown in jail. It has been how many years? I'm glad they are not getting off the hook, like a lot of big name officials and celebrities these days.
Sweet. Not much else to say.
Finaly they pay for their horrible crime! So many lost so much
Yeah, I hear they might be getting lower sentances though, which is very unfortunate.
