Federal prison officials have moved the former finance chief of failed energy giant Enron Corp. from a prison in Louisiana to a halfway house in Houston.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons website shows Andrew Fastow was moved from a Pollack, La., prison to a low-security community corrections facility in Houston. The Houston Chronicle reports he'll likely remain there until Dec. 17.

Fastow is considered the mastermind behind the financial schemes that doomed Enron. He has been serving a six-year prison term since 2006 on conspiracy convictions. The reduced sentence was for testifying against former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling and Chairman Kenneth Lay.

Lay and Skilling were convicted of fraud and conspiracy. Lay died in July 2006 before entering prison. Skilling awaits resentencing after the Supreme Court overturned his 24-year sentence.

1. Suggestion

Use some harsh interrogation techniques on Fastow to get him to reveal where Kenny Boy Lay ended up living.

After he faked his own death.

Do we have any good CT info out there about this possibility? (Of Kenny Boy being still alive on some tropical island somewhere)

7. Don't know how it is in America

But in Canada, "famous" or "important" doesn't mean anything to the justice system.

Same prisons. Same halfway houses. Same parole officer (and wait in his office until he's free) like everyone else.

6. Of all the rats at Enron, he was the biggest.

How is he even eligible to be out? That's one SOB that should have had the key thrown away on.

10. Apart from Kenny Boy and his chums, like Smirko and Sneer.

The guy who wanted to talk about the workings of it all was Cliff Baxter.
