Letter to the Editor

Ken Lay’s Legacy     

The security regulators have not picked it up, as yet, the fact Ken Lay and his wife Linda
may have exerted on drastic future changes in the securities industry.

 

In my book, Ken Lay discovered the modern version of unrestricted naked short selling and created for corporate executives in cashing in their chips. In time of uncertainty, of course.

 

According to Ken Lay, an executive can borrow money from his own corporation and paid with the corporation’s own share – a transaction that does not have to report to the SBC for at least a year. Thus, the total sale does not hit the wire services and an executive can bail out of his stock unnoticed for cash at the higher price than the stock would be selling a year later.

 

If such transactions are permitted, they would be a bonanza for secondary stocks where the decline of the price is a strong possibility.

 

Furthermore, if the proceeds of the sale are converted to an annuity or a Florida home, the executive may be home free from stockholders suit.

 

Thus, Ken Lay, a highly educated man, discovered the ultimate bail out, publicly permissible, naked short selling at the expense of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.

 

Ken Lay’s attorney, Martin Siegel, Esquire stated in 2003 “Ken Lay did nothing wrong”.

 

Mr. Siegel returned to Houston in early May 2006 to defend his client Ken Lay.

 

I am not questioning the outcome of the current case. I am simply stating as a securities analyst, that Ken Lay and his attorneys are attempting to rejuvenate security laws from the Depression era in 1933, until President Roosevelt nominated Joe Kennedy to head the Securities Exchange Commission. Then the music stopped!


Respectfully submitted,
