Ken Lay's widow forks over condo fees: aww!

Remember when former Enron boss Ken Lay's wife Linda went on TV and cried that "It's all gone. We've lost everything!" in perhaps the least sympathetic televised display of misery since the Wicked Witch of the West cried that she was melting in The Wizard of Oz?

Well, it turns out she hasn't quite lost everything. In fact, she managed to come up with the cash to pay "all amounts currently due" to the Huntingdon Council of Co-Owners, the condo association for her luxury residence in Houston. The association had sued claiming she owed $109,000. In condo fees! That's enough to cover about 60 years of condo fees for my unit.

According
to the Associated Press, "Linda Lay's assessment was based on ownership of nearly 3% of the 34-story building, the Houston Chronicle reported. She owns a 12,827-square-foot condo on the 33rd floor worth more than $4 million, plus 10 parking spaces and four storage units, the lawsuit said."

I'm on the floor crying with sympathy for this poor woman. Living all alone in that 12,827 square foot condo! Perhaps BloggingStocks readers could all pitch in and buy her a violin. She'd be a natural.
