Dear Enron,

From Today's New York Times, on an Appeal by former Enron Chief:

In his brief asking the Supreme Court to hear his case, Mr. Skilling said that his conduct “even if wrongful in some way, was not the crime of honest-services fraud, because the government conceded that his acts were not intended to advance his own interests instead of Enron’s.”

Intent? INTENT? Can we honestly just look at the facts of who ran away with countless millions before the fall of Enron? Um, hmmm from an HBS case on Enron, the stat is that Skilling took $78 MILLION dollars from 2000 to 2001.

Come now. Everyone had vested interest in Enron's interests because Enron WAS them. Oh Skilling. If you can't be honest that you didn't want that $78 million for your own interests, then you are doing a dis-service to humanity right there. Crime of honest-services? Really? Are you STILL lying?

Check out some pop culture fun: Drop the S off of Skilling, a rap song about corporate america inspired by David Tonsall, a former Employee who was screwed by the scandal.
