Only my opinion - to be honest, I think 24 years for a white collar crime is silly. This term is more for serious physical assault type offenses.
The flipside is, suppose they have to take account of the numbers of offenses, the scale - plus any outrageous type evidence. Other factor is prob there was a desire to make an example of him.
Who knows the condition of Ken Lay before he died - it may be related or not, but agree, whether by design or fate - he did his family a service in leaving them with his full estate - including the proceeds of his fraud.
