Bitter Stew

Yesterday afternoon, I received email notification that Andrew Fastow, the former CFO of Enron, was sentenced to six years in federal prison and two years of community service. As part of his plea agreement, Fastow would not serve more than ten years for his role in camouflaging Enron debt, fattening Enron numbers, stealing retirement funds from Enron’s many employees, and lining his and his wife’s pockets. I know that many in the financial and legal worlds suspect Fastow was a scapegoat.

However, I, for one, was glad to learn you can put a number on moral bankruptcy.

I think it’s safe to say the Virgin Festival nirvana wore off.
