28. Very convenient 'death'... Here's why I don't think he's dead.
As soon as I heard the news I called my Mother and told her I bet he is cremated to destroy all trace of evidence. Sure enough, a few days later my suspicions I shared with my Mother came true. Ken Lay was to be cremated.

Ken Lay died in Aspen, Colorado where it would be very easy for a medical examiner to say a body is Ken Lay without any proof. And they could have gotten a dead body anywhere. This is Ken Lay we're talking about. He had billion stashed away and he had people in high places in government, even his good buddy GW Bush. And he just found out he was going to prison, giving him a great excuse to pull off an easy stunt like this. He had the motive, the opportunity, the resources and the government support to get away with it. He also was good friends with the entire Bush clan of criminals and GHW Bush and Barbara even flew to GW's first inauguration on a Enron jet. Ken Lay and Dick Cheney even met several times to discuss our country's energy policy. Can you imagine any worst people to determine the energy policy for our country than Ken Lay and Dick Cheney, two sociopaths?

Ken Lay is probably living on an island after having some plastic surgery and is living like a king with all the money he stole from people. And after he was proclaimed 'dead' all charges were dropped against him, so that meant all of the money he stole was allowed to remain in possession of his corrupt wife. That's even another reason for faking his death.

What is sickening was the news in Houston who had glowing stories on Ken Lay, the convicted criminal and who destroyed the financial lives of hundreds of thousands of people. They interviewed his pastor and he said how good of a man Ken Lay was and how he gave to the church. He called him a 'good Christian'. I wonder what a 'bad Christian' looks like? It's easy to give to charities if you're using money you stole from other people. If you stole ten billion dollars or so and you threw a million dollars to a church you too would look like a 'good Chrsitian', even though you stole ten billion dollars and destroyed peoples' lives. Where's that "camel going through the eye of a needle" story? And why didn't the pastor of his church mention that? Oh yeah, the pastor willingly accepted stolen money and refused to return it.

I couldn't believe the media was portraying Ken Lay as an upstanding citizen who was moral and ethical. I suppose his pastor would have said anything since he profited off of the Enron scandal too. I never heard any reports that said that pastor gave any of Ken Lay's money back to its rightful owners, the people swindled by Ken Lay and the rest of the corporate criminals at Enron.

I wish investigators would have followed the money trail, like checking all of the bank accounts of everyone in Aspen, Colorado associated with the processing of Ken Lay's 'body'. I bet they would find some large deposits in the accounts of the medical examiners, police and any other person who was associated with the coverup. I even wonder if they killed someone to replace Ken Lay.

It's just all too convenient. And I don't think my claims are beyond reason.

19. Because he died right before he was sentenced.
Which means his wife got all of the goods. Money wasn't restored.

3. No autopsy - Typical Republicon occultism
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 08:29 AM by SpiralHawk
I'd bet a sack of doughnuts George AWOL Bush's buddy, Kenny Boy (R), is slurping cocktails on the beach in Rio somewhere, laughing his ass off at the rubes who were duped by yet another occult republicon smoke and mirror scam.

4. And immediate cremation so no DNA test could be run on the body.

23. Me either. It was all too convenient.
And they couldn't go after the wife and her money after his "death".

Waaaay too convenient.

Which leaves the possibility open.

11. He was transported in a time machine back to 9/11/01,
when he pushed the plunger to detonate the explosives bringing down WTC building 7, blowing himself to smithereens in the process. It's a little known fact that Lay was a demolitions expert in Vietnam, and invented a type of dynamite that cannot be detected by forensics.

But, wait! In an alternate present, Lay is still alive!! He is collaborating with T. Boone Pickens to create a solar energy stock market bubble, from which they will both make trillions--selling everything just before it collapses and retiring to their secret lair on Mars, where Lay2 and Pickens are gay lovers. In the lower gravitational field of Mars, they can live longer in the sealed environment they've created, inhaling nutrient-infused nitrogen/argon mist for all eternity.

12. I admit, I find the timing of his "death" very conveeeeeenient.
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 09:04 AM by Atman
By "dying" before being sentenced, he was in effect exonerated of his crimes. Legally, his name was cleared. His family can say he never was convicted of any crime, just like Ollie North does. And of course, he get's to keep his loot. It was all just way too convenient. Considering all of the other crimes Bush and his cronies committed, which were much more egregious, this one seems like small change. So to speak.

13. Some people said they thought they saw it but the
view was blurred when all of the demons who lived in his body fled upon the hour of his death, so it was kinda hard to be sure it was Ken.

14. His "death," according to the NYT "spared his family financial ruin"
According to the Gray Lady


Mr. Lay's death effectively voids the guilty verdict against him, temporarily thwarting the federal government's efforts to seize his remaining real estate and financial assets, legal experts say.

"The death of Mr. Lay in all likelihood will render the government's hard-fought victory null," said Christopher Bebel, a former federal prosecutor based here who specializes in securities fraud.

16. No. It was a closed-casket ceremony.
And, once the courts ruled the fellow was dead, it was cash-and-carry for the family and his ill-gotten gains.

21. Seems to me Mrs. Ken Lay's credit card receipts for travel-related
expenses would tell the tale, but no intrepid reporter has ever probed into her comings and goings. Too bad, because I'm with those who figure he's sipping mai tais with little umbrellas in them while enjoying ocean breezes.

22. My wife was in a bridge club in which one of the ladies said she knows Elvis were dead
because she happened to be at the hospital where Elvis had died and saw his corpse (her family owned a mortuary - they were at the hospital to pick up a body). I will believe Kenny is dead the day someone I would trust comes forward and says he/she saw Kenny's corpse, but not until then. :P

24. After Baxter's suicide one has to wonder about Lay's timing
"The Mysterious Death Of An Enron Exec(Baxter)"--> http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/04/10/eveningnews/main505845.shtml

27. Remember ''Our Man Flint''?
The superspy would take some curare derivative or go into some kind of self-induced trance, I don' remember which. Anyway, he'd make out like a possum and everybody bugging him'd go away.



James Coburn played Flint. He was awakened by his watch opening up a little hatch and a small double hammer would come out. The thing would go bump-bump bump-bump and tap out a rhythm on the inside of the guy's arm. After a minute or so, his pulse returned and he was back in action, partying and chasing girls and bad guys.

Awesomely bad film, still generates great memories.
