Friday Nights Allright For Fighting
Written on June 21, 2013
Remember Jeff Skilling? Does your wayback machine reach that far back, or has it been polluted with inane crap from the telescreens?
In case there have been too many episodes of Americas funniest Home Videos crammed into your cranium, hes the ENRON fall-guy whos been imprisoned for shady financial transactions that cost American investors including a large number of teachers millions in investments when the company (which had ties to Dick Cheney) went bankrupt.
Co-conspirator Ken Lay died of a heart attack before he could be sentenced. Starting to ring a bell? Anyway, Skilling is about to be released from jail, as reported by CBS:
Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling succeeded in getting his prison sentence reduced by 10 years as part of a court-ordered reduction.
U.S. District Judge Sim Lake of the Southern District of Texas announced at a hearing in Houston today that Skilling will serve 14 years. His original conviction called for him to serve 24 years in connection with the collapse of the once high-flying energy trading firm. Under the agreement with federal prosecutors, Skilling could be released as early as 2017.
In seeking to reduce the sentence, the government had emphasized that $40 million in restitution, currently held up as Skilling pursued appeals, would be released to victims.
The sentence handed down today ends years of litigation, imposes significant punishment upon the defendant and precludes him from ever challenging his conviction or sentence, Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman said in a statement after the re-sentencing hearing. With todays court action, victims of Skillings crimes will finally receive more than $40 million that he owes them.
Sherron Watkins, who as a vice president at Enron first called attention to the energy trading companys accounting problems, sounded a mixed note about the former CEO. Hes paid a steep price, she said, noting that Skillings father and son both died during his incarceration and that he was unable to attend their funerals.
Funny, many regular non-billionaire folk spend decades in jail for being caught with marijuana. This guy, who helped ruin countess lives with his criminal business practices, could be out by 2017.

(6,057 posts)SNAP, Congress, and my Career GoalsJune 20, 2013 3 Comments
snapShame on Congress! Shame for even considering life-risking cuts to the SNAP program! Shame on them further for the proposal to deny SNAP benefits to convicted felons!
How is it that the same people that would restrict birth control and abortion will also restrict assistance for prenatal care, childcare, and food for children? They are tough on crime while eliminating the transition programs that help convicts return to society and get jobs. Without jobs, how do they live an honest life? Without jobs or SNAP or WIC, how do they feed their families?
The answer is that our elected leaders do not work for us. Convicted felons and poor children dont make campaign contributions or offer lucrative lobbying jobs to retiring elected officials and so they dont count Their hunger doesnt matter. Their futures dont matter. In the world of government, only the rich matter. Welcome to our democracy.
I write often about my struggles growing up. I was hungry, but my brother made sure we applied for food stamps. At the time, my mother had already been convicted of drug crimes at least once. But we got SNAP. We got school breakfast and lunches. We ate, and because we ate, we could study and learn and affect our own futures. Because we ate at home and at school, we didnt steal We didnt quit school. My brother went into the army and became a mechanic and I sent to college, where I am now looking at law schools.
Law? Yes, law. Not to defend the big banks against government regulators. Not to work in a district attorneys office. Law school because it is the next and best step to prepare me to advocate for those whose voices are not heard in Washington or by state governments. I am going to law school in order to become an advocate for the poor, for poor children, for released convicts trying to live an honest life. I was extremely lucky to survive my childhood and thrive in my education. I had tremendous help and luck every step of the way and continue to enjoy the good counsel, occasional financial assistance, and indescribable emotional support from adults who chose to be a part of my life. But luck didnt feed me or educate me when my mother was unable to purchase food. The government did, through SNAP and school lunches. Someone needs to make sure they continue that for the next Cassie, and that someone is me.

(113,278 posts)a hard time--pooooor baby couldn't go to the funerals. I wonder how many people killed themselves, or died early because of what he and kenny boy did. it disgusts me that he will be out in just a few years. even the 24 year sentence was too short (I wonder if they got the name of the island where kenny boy is in exchange??)
