Fastow a Hero to His Family Too

Aside from providing them with numerous checks derived from ill gotten gains, Fastow is also a hero to his family by taking blame for some of the Enron mess and pleading guilty to a small number of counts rather than dragging everyone through a long court battle.

"The Fastow family will soon be able to get on with their lives and start spending some of the LJM-like money that the Feds haven't discovered yet," said a spokesperson for the family.

Next up for them is a planned speaking tour and educational series of how to make off balance sheet deals to inflate profits. "As the dot-bomb period fades from people's minds, we feel there is an opportunity in the market to sell these services again," was the claim in a released statement.
