Former CEO of Enron and convicted felon, Kenneth Lay, died suddenly of a heart attack in Aspen, Colorado.
Lay was scheduled to spend the rest of his life in prison and has become a name synonymous with corporate abuse and fraud.

Lay takes credit for Enron’s rise as one of the largest corporations in the United States. A court also gave him credit for its collapse and the loss billions of dollars in employee pensions. Thousands of employees and shareholders suffered financially from the demise of Enron. Many find death is not enough punishment for Lay.
