Ken Lay check out

So, Kenneth Lay dies suddenly while waiting for sentencing in his massive fraud conviction for lying about Enron.

A billionaire, now facing spending the rest of his life in prison, just . . . dies.
How conveeeeeeeenient.

Perhaps it wasn't intentional. Perhaps the strain of the absolute, total dissolution of his company, his fortune, his reputation, and his freedom was enough to put him over the edge. I could understand that.

But I can also believe that maybe, just maybe, he decided he had had enough and checked out. We won't know for sure until all the tests come back to see what was in his system. I'm usually not the conspiracy-theory type, but this just smells of a story.
