	Ex-Enron CEO charged in company's collapse - Corporate Scandals - MSNBC.com
		Skilling, the top-ranking executive arrested so far in the scandal that shook Wall Street and Washington alike, was accused of participating in widespread schemes to mislead government regulators and investors about the company’s earnings.
		Skilling maintained that he believed Enron was financially healthy when he stepped down, citing personal reasons he has not explained.
		Skilling’s former boss, former Enron chairman Kenneth Lay, is referred to by title in the indictment twice: that Skilling reported directly to Enron’s CEO and chairman; and that Enron’s chairman/CEO mentioned a $1.2 billion writedown in shareholder equity during a conference call the day the company announced massive losses in October 2001.

	Did Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling Receive Justice? - by Paul Fisher and Jim Johnston - The Heartland Institute
		Jeffrey Skilling was also convicted of conspiracy (one count), securities fraud (17 counts), and, interestingly, only one count (of 10) of insider trading.
		The sole count on insider trading against Jeffrey Skilling is as interesting a paradox as the supposed fraud of hiding "massive" gains and merely "large" losses, to quote the prosecution's indictment.
		Skilling is accused of a lot of things, but being dumb about making financial tradeoffs is not one of them.

		HOUSTON (AP) - Former Enron Corp. chief executive Jeffrey Skilling told jurors in his fraud and conspiracy trial Monday that he abruptly resigned from the energy trading company a few months before it collapsed because he was worn out and troubled by its falling share price - not because he knew disaster loomed.

	Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling indicted
		Former Enron chief executive officer Jeffrey Skilling was indicted February 19 on 35 counts of fraud, conspiracy and insider trading.
		Skilling joined Enron in the early 1990s and rose through the corporate hierarchy until Kenneth Lay, who was chairman of Enron’s board of directors and long-time CEO of the company, named Skilling CEO in 2001.
		This characterization of Skilling is actually a distortion of his role, and has the effect of downplaying both the significance and culpability of Lay.

	Jeffrey Skilling's 'Big Enchilada' - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Jeffrey Skilling's "big enchilada" has finally come to pass, but testifying on his own behalf was certainly not the dish he had in mind when he used the phrase in the mid-1990s.
		A skilled cross-examination by the prosecution will use this gaffe to its advantage and show that Skilling's obsession with Enron's stock price, to which his personal fortune was tied, was a clear motive for the crimes committed.
		Skilling failed to disclose that he had already scheduled a large stock sale prior to Sept. 11; after the attacks occurred, he merely increased the amount of shares he already planned to unload.

		In May, Skilling was found guilty on 19 counts of fraud, insider trading and lying to auditors for his part in the 2001 collapse of energy giant Enron.

		Skilling stood trial alongside former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay, but Lay died in July, and earlier this month Lake vacated Lay's conviction of 10 criminal charges because Lay's death made it impossible for him to appeal his conviction.
		Skilling's wife, Rebecca Carter, was in the courtroom; she broke down sobbing after Lake sentenced her husband.
		But Sherri Sera, who said she was Skilling's longtime executive assistant, implored Lake to consider that Skilling is a business "visionary" who could help the Houston community with business advice, and the judge should consider Skilling's long history of charitable work in determining his sentence.
