Enron’s ex-CEO and founder, Lay & Skilling, were found guilty today of conspiracy, wire fraud, securities fraud, insider trading and issuing false statements.

Yowza! Did they really think they could get away with inflating profits, hiding losses and misrepresenting the company’s financials? Technically, in a “fair” world, they could. Just look at other conglomerates and you’ll see what they get away with (thank you, Bush…douchebag).

In this case, the prosecution had the mother of all star witnesses, Enron’s ex-CFO. That would be the dude who knows exactly what’s going on with the spreadsheets. You can’t exclude the finance guy if you want to steal millions from the company now, can you?

What do you think was their strategy to deal with this formidable opponent? Stick their heads in their asses and deny everything. 

Recipe for disaster:

dude with dirt on you + act like an asshole on the stand + head in ass = SCREWED!
