Kenneth D. Rice
Co-CEO, Enron Broadband

Star sales exec at Enron North America, Rice grudgingly accepted Skilling's rich offer in 1999 to become co-CEO of the hot, but ill-fated broadband business. He testified that the troubled unit never made a profit but the company used fraudulent accounting to create earnings, a practice he referred to as "one more hit of crack cocaine."

In 2004, Rice pleaded guilty to a single count of securities fraud, agreeing to pay nearly $15 million, and now faces up to ten years in prison.
