That 'wave' was like a tsunami to some. Lay's remaining years should be
miserable and yes he should share a cell with your armed robber

"We're never going to get our money back," said Perrotta, who now
works as a representative for the Texas Federation of Teachers in Dallas.
"We're not going to reap from this. It's just the satisfaction. It
helps me close the book on the Enron debacle.

"It closes the door. Now I can start a new chapter in my life," she said.

"I'm thrilled about it but disappointed I have to wait till September
for sentencing," said former administrative assistant Rita Hennessy.
"If it was me or you they'd have taken us off immediately."

Hennessy, who worked under former Enron chief risk officer Rick Buy and
lost all of her retirement savings when the company collapsed, said,
"Unless they serve time for what they've done, the verdict doesn't
matter. You can tell a child they're guilty but it won't mean anything
unless you give them punishment. What lesson is learned if you don't?"
