In the Business section of today's Washington Post is an article about the sentencing of ENRON's chief accountant Richard A. Causey. It's too bad that news like this is not more prominent in the news. Because it would serve as a lesson to those in business that ethics and morality don't stop at the door of a corporations headquarters. The "money" quote from the article:
"But prosecutors on the Justice Department's since-disbanded Enron Task Force contended that fraud could not have flourished without Causey's actions and his failure to blow the whistle on others."
Causey got off easy at least he is not joining Ken Lay in Hell. But, I guess unlike the criminal mindset of some of the Enron executives we have to realize that we can't have it all!
