Enron founder and former chairman Kenneth Lay, who turned a regional pipeline company into the world's biggest energy trading house and watched it dissolve in one of the biggest corporate scandals in history, died Wednesday in Colorado, apparently after suffering a massive heart attack.
While many will remember him for his misdeeds even after his death, as is the Indian tradition, where we don't talk ill about a person who is no more, I would like to fondly remember him as THE person who got me a job!!
Shocked?? Don't be. Only after Enron's spectacular collapse in mid-2001, the US government came up with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in order to stop corporate fraud. This particular law made it mandatory for all American companies to report quarterly earnings and disclose all company related information the the public!
Got my point? :-)
