CORPORATE MALFEASANCE
(Executive Crimes in Rhyme)
Tales and Woes of Corporate Foes
It’s never the season for corporate malfeasance. Despicable acts are now known facts. The public needs to know about these CEOs who stole and packed up all that dough.
Corporate foes with all kinds of investment tricks to make themselves rich. They robbed your IRAs and 401Ks then stashed the cash away. This is not fiction. These are true facts that led the feds to their indictments and convictions.
Enron, WorldCom and Tyco executives at the top of the pyramid, the cream of the crop were supposed to help their shareholders prosper and grow instead these schmoes turned out to be the corporate foes, the “Don Juan” cons. As blocks of Enron, WorldCom and Tyco stocks hit the rocks investors were left dangling on a shoestring.
On December 2, 2009 a Houston federal judge signed an official order ending an 8-year-old lawsuit by shareholders and investors who accused the Enron Corporation and other companies of fraudulent accounting.
On March 1, 2010 former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling who was caught for robbing investors of their hard-earned savings and sentenced to prison for 24 years is now appealing his case before the Supreme Court.
On May 16, 2011 Andrew Fastow former Enron CFO was released from a Louisiana prison to serve his remaining time of a six-year sentence ending December 17th at a halfway house in Houston, Texas when he’ll begin two years of probation. According to the Federal Bureau Prison system his eligibility is supposed to be June 17th with some restrictions to live in-home confinement where his wife and sons reside in Houston. The federal/state prison system may not allow Fastow to settle into his Houston home on that particular date.
Richard Causey, Chief Accounting Officer began serving the remainder of his five-year, six-month sentence on in-home detention in April, but did not go back to his residence until May 17th the day after Fastow, a pal and colleague arrived in Houston. Causey’s final release date when he gets out of the clink is the 15th of October. He served his time in the same facility where Lea Fastow spent a month at Leidel Comprehensive Center.
