On Friday, Enron’s former executive in charge of investor relations, Paula Rieker, was sentenced to two years of probation. She could have received up to ten years in prison, but was given a lighter sentence because she has cooperated with the investigation of other Enron executives.

Specifically, Reiker was instrumental in the trails of Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling. She testified that Lay hid bad news from Wall Street, and that board members were upset at his personal financial gains from Enron. Reiker also testified that on two occasions, Skilling ordered that Enron inflate its earnings-per-share figures to meet or beat stock market expectations.

Reiker was one of 16 ex-executives from Enron who pleaded guilty to charges related to the company’s collapse.
