Former Enron chief, Ken Lay died. What may be procedurally interesting is that because he had not been sentenced prior to his death and a final judgement had not been issued, his conviction could be set aside, and as a result, his estate would therefore not be subject to criminal forfeitures and fines, only civil forfeiture.
