Lu Pi

Too right. That Asian guy was creepy as hell, and up to his neck during the boom years in Enron's games. That he could get away with BILLIONS before TSHTF, become the second largest land owner in Colorado as well as large chunks of real estate in Hawaii is disgusting and makes my blood boil.

Anyone know why this creep seems teflon coated?

From what I read on Wikipedia [take what you want from it] He had to pay back 35 million. 30 million was to the fund for those employees who lost their retirement and the other 5 million was for federal fines. How he stayed out of prison is beyond me. His butt belongs their with Skilling and the CFO!

he abandoned the ship like rats, but in this case way before the ship actually sank, taking a look at all the events retrospectively he was indeed the smartest guy in the room, got away with substantial amount of money and found his way out of the judicial system, his and his coworkers gambled the flesh and bones of hard working men and women, there used to be a time when great souls like Dr. Jonas Salk just gave away the valuable vaccine for nothing.. and these scoundrels would put a derivatives on the souls of your child if they had a chance.. shame on them..

To be fair , Lu Pi was only a CEO of a division ,That division makes a lot of money when he was running it ,and make some of the biggest loss after he left.

He left at the time when the Bush presidential campaign was still happy to take donation money from Enron.

There were no evidence linking him to the fraud , but taking the fifth Amendment does make him look a bit guilty.

He is guilty of being
-Chinese
-Creepy
-unfaithful to his former wife
-using company expense for stripper
-transfer a guy to Canada for making a joke on him
-inside trading ( selling the stock when he knew the company is going down )
-He married his hot Stripper Girlfriend

And i read an article about he sold his land in Colorado ,and got a few times more than the money than the price he paid.
That's more than makes up for the SEC fine .
The rich just get richer .

Update on Lu Pi: He lives in Middleburg, Virginia now. I know that because I live in Fredericksburg. He's among his own kind - the thieves otherwise known as lobbyists that also live at that prestigous address.

Want to know something else that will make you mad? He's buying up distressed properties in the area - foreclosures - and becoming one of Northern Virginia's biggest landlords. That's the future we can look forward to - writing a check to this guy or someone like him for rent the rest of our lives rather than owning our own home.

My stepdaughter's real estate agent has a big mouth, and she actually mentioned him as someone who was one of her "biggest clients" as she goes on and on about making so much money being his agent. The agent apparently doesn't mind soiling herself with this scumbag's dirty money. Uggh.

Seems Lu Pi WAS the smartest guy in the room. He bailed at just the right time.

I actually believe that he planned to get caught with the stripper girlfriend.

1. He could then get divorced and marry the hot stripper

2. He could sell shares without doing insider trading

I love this guy, he is a stealthy little asian. They ARE good with numbers.

Well, he was actually forced to sell his stocks and leave the company. His penchant for strippers, wanton spending of company funds, and a messy divorce, would've brought more skeptical eyes at Enron's shady business. Lou Pai was a lucky fool, nothing more.
