Enron Trial Verdict

[farmerEd]

So does GWB give a pardon to Lay and others on his way out the door? I wouldn't bet against it.

[youbet]

Sounds like Lay and Skilling have a plan and a backup plan.* Just finished reading where our next Pres, HRC, is working with Lay and Skilling on a plan to pardon them as soon as she is in office.* Why?* Since MegaCorp 100% determines pres election outcomes, she wants them to let "the boardroom boys" know she's OK and give her the nod to win the election.

So, the predicted GWB pardon may simply be to head off HRC buying the election with a promise to do the same thing!

Nobody is going to get a pardon at the beginning of a presidential term (except ex-presidents). People get pardoned on the way out...not the way in.

Ah yes, the old "baguette" maneuver.

According to a google search:

What to Look for in a Baguette

The first sign of quality is a hard crust of a rich, dark caramel color. A flimsy crust, a pale, straw yellow color and an underside marked by tiny dots all indicate that the bread has been cooked in an industrial oven often from frozen dough.

The inside (or "mie" in French) of a good baguette should be a creamy color with large irregular air holes. The industrial loaf, on the other hand, will be cotton white, with tiny, regular air holes.

The texture of a good baguette should be moist and slightly chewy with a full, almost nutty flavor. The industrial version is cottony, tasteless and dry.

I mean where you buy a one way airline ticket to a country with really, really nice prisons...say switzerland. Buy a baguette. Go into a bank and wave the baguette in a menacing manner, announce that you're robbing the bank, then wait and continue to wave the baguette until the authorities show up.

Enjoy your three digit budget, 15-20 year ER.

And when you get out, all you need to buy is another baguette.

TH,

My last-ditch retirement plan is to rob a bank in Canada. The worst case outcome is that I get away with it.

You heard it here first: the wing-nuts have transitioned to blaming Bush's mistakes on Hillary instead of Bill

If it was me... I would pack as much money as I could get my hands on and be going to the nicest country that will not extradite me...

Lay on the beach and live my life...

For Lay, it is probably a death sentence... for Skilling, he will more than likely be in his 70s before getting out.. remember Ebbers got 20 (or was it 25??) and even though his was bigger, it was not as public...

CFB, do you have a link describing these really really prisons?* Sound very interesting.

You know, I havent really investigated this option too thoroughly. The standard ER plan is working for me so far. Got it on the back burner though, just in case.
