Skilling is a Wild Party Animal!

Prosecutors charged Wednesday that former Enron Chief Executive Jeff Skilling broke the terms of his $5 million bond during a bizarre alcohol-fueled fracas in New York earlier this month.

The court filing says Skilling's blood alcohol level was 0.19 -- more than twice the legal limit in most U.S. states -- when police sent him to the hospital at 4 a.m. on April 9.

Officers described Skilling as "uncooperative and intoxicated" and deemed him "an emotionally disturbed person" because he was accusing bar patrons of being undercover agents for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"At one point, Skilling went to the middle of the street, put his hands behind his back and began talking to the sky, asking if FBI cameras were capturing what was happening," the motion says.

Skilling, poor goddamn fu*ker .. his performance was undoubtedly a real stress release fueled by booze. Probably did him a power of good .. you may need to let the valve blow when you've been waking each day, day after day, to the foreboding burden of your forthcoming trial.

Fact is its a Roman circus. He has star billing and is in line to be fed to the lions for the pleasure and vengeance of the great American public.
 
"As well he should be." Snooptrader

Of course. Ho ho ho.

If he'd been dealing drugs and pimping, well, sh*t, that would have just been too damn common for star billing let alone prosecution together with the proper attention and concern of the courts and the law agencies.

Maybe I am just a stupid black man, but I don't understand what you are saying.
 
What I'm implying is that Skilling is just caught in a blinding spotlight.

He is going to be punished for the stock market bubble in which all the Joe Blows of the great U.S. lost money on blind and dumb speculation which the regulatory boys did nothing about at the time and when it was obvious that it had to come to an end sometime.

When the market did crash the idiot regulatory and law agencies went after the scapegoats they needed to parade before the public because of their own lack of vigilance.

As I said, its just a Roman circus.
 
Quote from fkeane:

Skilling perpetrated gargantuan fraud at the expense of everyone including "little people" who really didn't have it to lose.

Well, I'm sure the prosecution will appreciate hearing that Skilling's guilt has already been conclusively determined. No need now to spend weeks, if not months, going through the guilt or innocence phase of the trial? Just go straight to the sentencing phase. After all, that presumption of innocence thing really isn't all that important any way is it?
