Ken Lay Hides Soul In Off-Balance-Sheet Entity

Satan Outraged; Hires Forensic Accounting Firm
Houston, Texas: Tuck Profit investigative reporters tracked the movements of former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay's soul and discovered the "Planet Druidia" transaction.  With the help of a U.S. company called Soul Cryonics for the C-Suite, Lay set up several third-party special-purpose-entities for the sole purpose of shielding his damned soul from Hell's evil clutches.  Satan cited the incompetence of his minions in the blunder, and promised to find Lay's soul and banish it from God's presence for all of eternity. 

"We anticipated that Lay would use aggressive maneuvers but these transactions overstep the barriers of cosmic law.  My minions simply became too greedy over the course of the last decade, during which time we saw an astonishing increase in depravity and godlessness.  Everyone relaxed their standards; it was just so easy to harvest souls.

"We've put in place many measures to ensure compliance with my edicts.  Sure, my minions gripe about the increased paperwork, but the resulting transparency is critical if we hope to maintain a robust supply of damned souls.  And with that blessed Bush in office, throwing money at infidels with his faith-based initiatives and invading perfectly sinful countries like Iraq...well, we just need to work that much harder to keep up."
