HOUSTON — Ex-Enron Corp. CEO Jeffrey Skilling — seen by many as exemplifying the worst in corporate fraud and greed in America — could be released from prison in about four years after a federal judge Friday shaved off a decade from his original sentence of more than 24 years.
Skilling’s resentencing during a packed courtroom hearing brought one of the country’s most notorious financial scandals — the collapse of the once-mighty energy giant — to a conclusion that upset some former Enron workers.
