Eric Holder Gets Busy: Enron's Skilling May Be Released From Prison Over A Decade Early

Former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling may be the latest beneficiary of the culture of pervasive permitted, even according to some - encouraged, crime. After being sentenced to prison for 24 years in the aftermath of Enron's spectacular 2001 bankruptcy, the former CEO may be released after serving well less than half of his term. As a result his prison term, which scheduled to end in 2028, may be cut by more than half as a result of a new agreement with the Department of Justice. It appears that AG Eric Holder is so busy not prosecuting Wall Street for being Too Big To Prosecute, he has decided it is far wiser to spend his time productively by commuting the sentences of convicted financial felons, because apparently there is nothing more important to do.
[...]
Reuters reports: "Former Enron Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling, who is serving a 24-year sentence over the company's spectacular collapse, may get a chance to leave prison early. The U.S. Department of Justice posted a notice indicating that prosecutors are considering entering an agreement with Skilling that could result in his being resentenced. It is unclear how much Skilling's term could be shortened under a resentencing agreement. Wednesday's notice gives former Enron employees, stockholders and other victims of Skilling's fraud that led to Enron's 2001 bankruptcy a chance to object."

From the DOJ filing:


If you believe you are a victim of the crimes committed by the defendant and you wish to express your views to the Department of Justice about entering into a sentencing agreement, and/or to the Court about accepting such an agreement, please notify the Department of Justice and/or the Court by April 17, 2013, using the methods described below, briefly explaining why you are a crime victim, and summarizing your views.

If you wish to be heard at any future resentencing hearing the Court may schedule, you will be asked to notify the Court by a certain date (which will be set forth on the website noted above), and to briefly explain why you are a crime victim and summarize what you wish to say at the hearing.

If it appears that multiple victims wish to make the same points, the Court may limit the number of victims who speak in order not to unduly complicate or prolong the resentencinghearing. The Department of Justice cannot predict when in the course of the hearing the Court will permit victims to be heard. Victims who wish to speak should therefore plan on attending and being available when the opportunity to speak arises.

Of course, the DOJ can't promise the only "complaints" heard will be those from former MF Global executive Jon Corzine, who will instead focus on singing the praises of Skilling for his phenomenal cash flow and balance sheet management skills.

One of the masterminds in stealing $11 Billion from Enron shareholders through slew of fraud schemes, ENRON's CFO Andy Fastow served a whole 6 years in a minimum security prison.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Fastow
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_scandal

Andrew 'ANDY' Stuart Fastow (born December 22, 1961) is an American businessman who served as the chief financial officer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_financial_officer) of Enron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron) Corporation

Hoyt recommended that Fastow's sentence be served at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution in Bastrop, Texas. Fastow was incarcerated at the Federal Prison Camp near Pollock, Louisiana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollock,_Louisiana). He was released on December 16, 2011

This morning about Enron's CFO (Andrew Fastow) being released from prison after serving only six years. He was indicted on 99 charges and faced up to 140 years in prison, he plead guilty on two counts of wire and securities fraud. His wife Lea (Enron asst. treasurer) plead to a misdemeanor tax charge for hiding her husband's kickbacks of over 45 million and served one year in prison. Kenneth Lay died while waiting to be sentanced while Jeffery Skilling is serving 24 years.
Sharon Watkins the Enron ex-vice president turned whistle-blower said that Fastow was contrite and that he took his lumps and deserves a second chance, just not in the business world.
“I think he’s done his time and I’m happy he did just six years," she told The Daily yesterday. “That’s fine, but he shouldn’t be the officer of some other company? No.”

Please compare Andy Fastow's sentence to an Alabama man caught buying one pound of Marijuana.

Douglass Lamar Gray of Alabama ( A Vietnam Veteran amputee) is serving a life sentence for buying a pound of marijuana from an informant.
After paying Wilcox $900 for the pot, which seemed like a real bargain, Douglas Lamar Gray was arrested and charged with "trafficking in cannabis." He was tried, convicted, fined $25,000, sentenced to life in prison without parole, and sent to the maximum-security penitentiary in Springville, Alabama -- an aging, overcrowded prison filled with murderers and other violent inmates. He remains there to this day. Under the stress of his imprisonment Gray's wife attempted suicide with a pistol, survived the gunshot, and then filed for divorce. Jimmy Wilcox, the informer, was paid $100 by the county for his services in the case.

What the hell, let's make Skilling the new Secretary of the Treasury!

Obama and Holder are just puppets for the banksters? Who would have thought!

Oh yeah, they are the ones who put him there. Obama, the Creature from Johnny's Half Shell:

Skilling, Fastow, Dimon and Blankfein can snort cocaine off of the bare asses of high end hookers, and there would be no prosecution.
