Ken Lay
Being at the top of an empire somehow isn't enough for these CEOs. From insider trading to concealing debt to fraud and grand larceny, these top CEOs were all convicted of their crimes. Justice was swift but bittersweet to the thousands of employees who lost their jobs and retirements.

Disagree with our ranking? Then cast your vote at the end and tell us who you think should be number one.

Spoiler! If you typically read the last page of a book first, then go ahead and jump to the end -- we don't mind!


Ken Lay died before he could be sentenced for his crimes at Enron.
