"I take full responsibility for what happened at Enron. But saying that, I know in my mind that I did nothing criminal"
- Kenneth Lay
About this Quote
Kenneth Lay is taking duty for the collapse of Enron, one of the most notorious business scandals in history. He is confessing that he was in charge and that he must have done more to prevent it. However, he is also asserting that he did not commit any criminal acts. This declaration could be analyzed as an attempt to distance himself from the criminal activities of other Enron executives, or it could be a genuine expression of innocence. It is difficult to understand for sure, but it is clear that Lay is taking duty for the failure of Enron and is trying to safeguard himself from any criminal charges. He is likely attempting to show that he was not involved in any of the illegal activities that happened at Enron.
