7/7     From the "about f$#ing time" department"        :
        Kenneth Lay indicted
        http://csua.org/u/832 (AP via Yahoo News)
        \_ TWO NA1MS, L1KE: ROBURT RUBIN + CIT1GROUP
              \_ You obviously know nothing about Rubin.
        \_ Financial cases with zillions of documents always take years
           to get to this stage.  Once they file charges, they only have a
           short time to get it together in court.  By waiting until they
           know wtf they're looking at in the financial papers, they can
           build a case sufficient for a guilty verdict.  If they had filed
           charges shortly after Enron went to shit, Ken Lay would be a free
           man today and forever, not facing charges that now have a good
           chance of sticking.

By KRISTEN HAYS, AP Business Writer HOUSTON - Former Enron Corp. chairman and CEO Kenneth Lay has been indicted on criminal charges related to the energy company's collapse as a web of accounting schemes unraveled, sources close to the case told The Associated Press on Wednesday. web sites)'s Enron Task Force presented an indictment to US Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy in Houston on Wednesday. At their request, the judge sealed both the indictment and an arrest warrant. A hearing before Milloy was scheduled for late Thursday morning. Michael Ramsey, Lay's attorney, didn't immediately return a call for comment. It was unclear specifically what charges Lay would face. But the sources said they probably would allege he participated in hiding Enron's dire financial condition from investors, analysts and the public in the weeks before the energy company crumbled into bankruptcy in December 2001. Barring last-minute delays, Lay is the 30th and highest-profile individual charged. Enron had more than 20,000 employees worldwide before the company imploded amid revelations of hidden debt, inflated profits and accounting tricks. The company's collapse led a series of corporate scandals that sent investors fleeing and sparked numerous investigations. Thousands of Enron's workers lost their jobs and stock fell from a high of $90 in August 2000 to just pennies. The charges against Lay come 2 1/2 years after the federal government launched its painstaking investigation. The indictment takes the task force to the top of the fallen company's former senior management. Former CEO Jeffrey Skilling and former top accountant Richard Causey are awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy, fraud and insider trading. And waiting to testify for the prosecution is former finance chief Andrew Fastow, who pleaded guilty to two conspiracy counts in January. Fastow admitted to engineering partnerships and financial schemes to hide Enron debt and inflate profits while pocketing millions for himself.
