The Kenny Boy Lay and Jeff Skilling conviction was gratifying, but neither lowlife should ever see the light of day again. In the Great 2000-2001 California Energy Robbery, a group of 6 power companies, led by Enron, through manipulating power production, raised rates up to 90 fold.

California people and firms were paying as much in a day for electricity as they had in 3 months, threatening to shutdown the world's 6th largest economy. Then in a breathlessly audacious scam, the Republicans (who had probably engineered it to punish California for voting 12% more for Gore) managed to use the 3-fold higher power contracts Gov. Gray Davis signed with a gun to his and his state's temple... to depose him and replace him with the Terminator. Ahnold quickly agreed to almost cancel the $9 billion refund of the theft, getting only 10-20% in a devils bargain with the power companies.
most corrupt President in American history."
