Does it seem suspicious to you that ex-Enron CEO Ken Lay died right before they could put his guilty ass behind bars?
I wonder how many doctors you need to bribe to fake your own death. Is one enough? Or is there some special double-checking that the police do if the guy is heading for prison? I’m sure there’s a body, but I wonder if it’s his. I have a bad feeling that some pizza delivery guy’s last words to his coworkers were “Hey, I have a delivery to that Enron guy’s house! Wish me luck!”
My favorite Ken Lay story is that he bought his wife a $200,000 boat while they were already $100 million in debt. His explanation was “It’s hard to just turn that kind of lifestyle off.” That was the moment I believed his defense – that he was so frickin’ stupid he didn’t know he was a thief.
But now that he’s conveniently “dead,” I wonder if anyone is checking the whereabouts of the wife’s boat. My guess is that it got reported stolen just about the time that Kenny allegedly died.
And why does Ken Lay remind me of Burt Lahr, the actor that did the Lay’s potato chip commercials when I was a kid. Could that be a coincidence?

My theory is that Ken – if that’s his real first name – named himself after a bag of chips, scammed his way up the corporate ladder, stole a few hundred million dollars, faked his death and sailed to Aruba where dead people are rarely found.
