If you get convicted of mind-boggling crimes and have stolen billions of dollars from immense numbers of people... little people who lost their jobs, homes, savings... fucking up states and nations and affecting the economy of the entire world... and then a couple of months after your conviction you die in a nice vacation home in the mountains... what's wrong here? What the fuck?
If he was going to die it would have been at least decent of him to die in jail in an orange jumpsuit. Fuckwad.
I so agree. Saw an interview with a retired L.A. Unified schoolteacher last week, a single woman, never married (so doesn't have access to anyone else's retirement but her own). She lost almost every fucking cent of her retirement pay because of that dumb fuck Lay and at 74 years old, guess how she's enjoying her retirement? She's cleaning houses three days a week in the San Fernando Valley.

Death was too good for him.

or....
then a couple of months after your conviction (with, strangely, no attempt to appeal as would be expected) you "die" in a nice vacation home in the mountains after getting all your ducks in line to live anonymously somewhere on the other side of the world instead of serving what would amount to a life sentence for a man your age.

A NY Times columnist wrote that "The tragedy of the former Enron chairman is that he never fully understood what he'd done wrong." I want to kick him, because, well, the real tragedy is that he harmed millions by what he did wrong.

The fascists always seem to win, even in death.
