Alive and Well

When Enron declared bankruptcy in the early 2000s, it was the largest bankruptcy declaration in the history of the nation to that point. There was also plenty of scandal and speculation about how it all went down. However, the former owner of the company, Kenneth Lay, avoided much of the punishment he could have faced for his role in the company’s downfall.

The reason he avoided punishment was that he passed away in 2006. However, not everyone believes that this is what really happened. As this theorist states, it’s possible that Lay faked his own death to avoid the repercussions. If he did, he’s likely living comfortably in secrecy off the hundreds of millions of dollars he got out of Enron before his supposed death.
