Andrew Fastow, whose ingenious off-the-book transactions as CFO of Enron Corp. enriched him while helping to precipitate one of the biggest corporate collapses in history, has been released to a community corrections facility in Houston until he completes his prison sentence in mid-December, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Fastow, now 49, was facing 98 criminal charges but pleaded guilty to two criminal counts and agreed to testify for the government against his former colleagues (see Daily GPI, Sept. 27, 2006). His key testimony led to the convictions of several Enron executives, most notably founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, who were convicted on numerous charges in 2006 (see Daily GPI, May 26, 2006). Skilling, convicted on 19 criminal counts, is scheduled to be released from federal prison in 2030; he is appealing. Lay was convicted on 10 criminal counts, but died before sentencing and the convictions were dismissed. Wife Lea Fastow, also a former Enron employee, served a one-year prison term; she continues to live in Houston with the couple’s two children.
