Ah, Molly. She's a piece of work. But she's on to something with this one.
See, (public funding of sports arenas aside) Michael Jordan is getting his
cash directly from people who want to see him. There's no fraud involved in
Michael's ability, he really does know how to play basketball well (or so

Ken Lay got his cash from stockholders who maybe ought to have known better
but who believed his PR and didn't realise that there was a lot of fraud
involved rather than a going concern. What's worse in that particular case
is that it's given (partial) deregulation a bad name.
