		Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling unloaded $200 million in Enron stock from 1998 until the energy giant's collapse in 2001, presenting to the public a face of sunny optimism even as the company's fortunes darkened and his personal stock sales accelerated, according to a grand jury indictment unsealed Thursday.
