It wouldn’t be right to include Kenneth Lay on a list of corrupt business leaders without giving Skilling a special mention as well. Though he was originally sentenced to 24 years in prison, Skilling’s sentence was reduced to 10 years in July 13, six of which he has already served. Skilling “was convicted in 2006 on 19 counts, including 12 counts of securities fraud and one count of insider trading.” Skilling had several high-level positions at Enron properties and became president and CEO in 1997.
