HOUSTON (AP) - Here is a list of the people charged in connection with the Enron scandal since it erupted in December 2001, and the status of their cases:
NEWLY CONVICTED:
_Enron founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey Skilling were convicted Thursday of conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. Skilling faced 28 charges, including fraud, conspiracy and insider trading, on charges connected to various alleged schemes to fool investors into believing Enron was financially healthy so Enron executives could pocket millions from sales of inflated stock. He was convicted of 19 charges, and acquitted of nine others that included insider trading. Lay was convicted on six counts for perpetuating the ruse upon Skilling's resignation in 2001, less than three months before Enron crumbled. Sentencing was set for Sept. 11.
