I can't dig up any info supporting this, but wasn't a condition of the Fastows' plea bargain that they not be incarcerated simultaneously, so that their children wouldn't be parent-less? JD79 17:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a link where the Fastow attorney says that non-concurrent sentences was part of the deal.http://money.cnn.com/2004/01/14/news/companies/enron_fastows/

Low security prison or minimum security prison camp?

[edit]

The Washington Post is reporting that Bastrop is a minimum security prison camp, but the Federal Bureau of Prisons website lists it as low security: http://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/bas/index.jsp http://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/index.jsp http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/26/AR2006092600683.html

Undid multiple deletions

[edit]

There have been a few strange deletions of links to reliable sources, from this article. I rolled the article back to before the deletions. --John Nagle (talk) 02:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Floating Price

[edit]

The link for "Floating Price" does not have that as a subject. This needs to be remedied. - KitchM (talk) 05:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Alleged" Criminal

[edit]

I don't understand why the sentence "Andrew Fastow is an alleged criminal" appears in the Other Sources section. This sentence neither concerns a specific other source nor is provided by one. In addition, Fastow pled guilty. A more accurate statement would be "Andrew Fastow is a convicted criminal." Fastow's criminality is not mere allegation. Even then, it has no place that I can see under the Other Sources heading, particularly since Fastow's trial and sentence are explained in more detail above. 168.150.239.75 (talk) 03:22, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The statement is an opinion (obviously not a fact as he is a convicted felon) and therefore removed. Sandcherry (talk) 02:18, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Fastow is a "convicted criminal"

[edit]

Describing someone as a "convicted criminal" like this article does is a bit odd, and I haven't seen it done in any other articles. Wouldn't it make more sense to introduce with something like, "Andrew Fastow is the former CFO of Enron Corporation. He was convicted of x and y... etc." or "and was convicted for his involvment in x and y" ? Maybe a format similar to the pages of the other key figures convicted in the enron scandal. --Tristario (talk) 08:02, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to keep this in the same section as the previous discussion of this same issue? - KitchM (talk) 14:01, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That Section is discussing whether the sentence "Andrew Fastow is an alleged criminal" should have appeared in the other sources section, as it did five years ago. I'm wondering whether it is appropriate to introduce someone as a "convicted criminal" in the introduction, a much more recent edit. It's an pretty unusual way to introduce the biography of person. --Tristario (talk) 01:28, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lea (wife) as businesswoman

[edit]

When I view the page, it offers related links to Lea who is described as "American businessman". I wonder if Lea has been set up in a template that's man-specific? Not sure where I should have put this comment, but as it's displayed on this page, I thought I'd start here, and please forgive my ignorance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.21.114 (talk) 06:06, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
