Former Enron Corp. Chief executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling is set to appear in court to learn how much longer he’ll stay in prison for spearheading the fraud that destroyed the world’s largest energy trader.
Under terms of a deal with prosecutors, Skilling, 59, could see his 24-year prison sentence cut by as much as 10 years, freeing him as early as 2017, if a U.S. judge approves it at a hearing today in federal court in Houston.
