Top Enron staff reaped $744 m.

New York June 18. Top Enron Corp workers reaped $744 millions of payments and stock in the year leading up to its bankruptcy filing, the company has disclosed.

Representatives of former workers and shareholders responded angrily to the bankruptcy court filing, accusing the 144 senior managers of essentially raiding Enron's coffers while leaving their clients with relatively little or nothing at all.

Enron disclosed in a 1,436-page filing with the federal bankruptcy court in New York yesterday that the executives received $309.5 millions in salary, bonuses, long-term incentives, loan advances and other payments. Among the executives who shared in the pay and awards were: former chairman Kenneth Lay, former chief executive Jeffrey Skilling, former chief financial officer Andrew Fastow. The Army Secretary, Thomas White, who ran Enron's retail energy services unit, was also listed. — AP
