The problem is they need to freeze all assets of the executives or a good percentage at least.
That's the most important step of all - recover the damned money. Laws were passed in the 1980's regarding forfeiture and seizure of drug dealers' assets, why not apply those laws in these cases?
As for Milken, he only spent two (2) years in a minimum security federal prison, had to return 1.8 billion (out of 2 billion he stole - leaving...hmmm... about .2 billion, or 200 million dollars around somewhere), then went on to become a business consultant. An arrogant motherf*cker, he has referred to himself as a "social engineer." Bastard.
As for Ken Lay...well, his b!tch wife can go cry into a bag of money, for all I care.
I say make them give all the money back, make them sell all their homes cars, whatever, or go to real, hardcore prison. Let the government investigate all of their personal financial activities, and find out exactly where all the damned money went, be it Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, trust funds in their kids' names...whatever. After all, none of these people really know what loss is, compared to their employees and stockholders that lost their one and only home, retirement account, nest egg, etc.
Either that, or let the kill themselves, as did that other bastard from Enron. He knew what he had done, and wasn't about to face the music.
Gee, do I sound just a little bitter, cynical and angry? It's becoming harder and harder not to be so.
Don't bother hey-modding this for language...we've already seen and approved it. -RD

He also was paid a 500 million dollar BONUS from Drexel. You think that was maybe hidden somewhere?
