Experts: Causey May Be Key in Enron Case
Richard Causey Could Be a Critical Witness in
Enron Case, Experts Say

The Associated Press

HOUSTON Jan. 23 — Richard Causey, the newest defendant in the
sprawling investigation of Enron Corp.'s implosion, could be a crucial link to
the company's former titans if he ends up cooperating with prosecutors,
experts said Friday.

"In any type of financial fraud, once you nail the numbers guys, the house
comes crashing down," said Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor and an
expert in white-collar crime. "That's what the government is trying to do now
by indicting Causey and trying to put pressure on him."

1. Yup--same reason Elliot Ness went after Capone's accountant

Please, please, please let me live long enough to see Ken Lay do the perp walk....

2. Why don't they go ahead and go after Lay and Skilling?

I don't get that! If anybody drove what happened at Enron, you can bet Lay was all the way behind it. They need to quit messin' around and file charges against him. Of course...I guess * doesn't want Lay touched until after the election...so he can get some more contributions from him.

5. Pardon?

After the election, chimpie gives Kennyboy a pResidential pardon
for any crimes he might have committed or will commit in the future.

4. Anyone know what the statute of limitations is on the possible crimes

Lay and Skilling 'could' be charged with? The clock is ticking as we speak.

6. Lay and Skilling are untouchable

They would be "dissappeared," "suicided" or flee to a non extradictable location before that could happen. Otherwise bush family members and the VP could go down with them along with Phil Graham and co.
