Dead at the age of 64, after a massive heart attack, Ken Lay was one of the “Smartest Guys In The Room”. The Enron trial and his eventual conviction probably didn’t help any health problems he might have had.
The rest of his life in prison was to be his sentence. Enron summarized the rapacious uncontrollable greed that is a hallmark of global business these days.
I’m sorry he’s dead, as 64 is young. I’m sorry for his family too, as death is inevitable, but still sorrowful. But he still deserved jail time. That doesn’t change: He was a crook.
