— Jeffrey Skilling, 55, Enron's former chief executive, sentenced in October 2006 to more than 24 years in prison for role in company's collapse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January ordered a re-sentencing hearing, ruling that a district judge improperly applied a sentencing guideline that resulted in a longer prison term. Skilling is yet to be re-sentenced.

— Andrew Fastow, 47, Enron's former CFO, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in 2004 and sentenced to six years. The federal bureau of prisons lists his projected release date as Dec. 17, 2011. Fastow's wife, Lea, pleaded guilty in 2004 to a misdemeanor tax crime and served a year in prison for helping him hide ill-gotten gains from his schemes.

— Bernard Ebbers, 67, former chief of WorldCom, imprisoned in September 2006 on 25-year sentence for his role in $11 billion accounting fraud that toppled his telecommunications company. The federal bureau of prisons lists his projected release date as July 4, 2028.
