SIX KEY FIGURES
1. Richard A. Causey , former Enron chief accounting officer, broke from a unified defense team with Kenneth L. Lay and Jeffrey K. Skilling when he pleaded guilty to securities fraud in December.
2. Andrew S. Fastow , former finance chief, facing numerous criminal counts, pleaded guilty to two conspiracy charges in exchange for cooperation.
3. Lea W. Fastow , former assistant treasurer and Fastow's wife, pleaded guilty to a tax charge, cementing her husband's cooperation.
4. Ben F. Glisan Jr. , former treasurer, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in September 2003 and began cooperating with prosecutors in early 2004.
5. Mark E. Koenig , former head of investor relations and the first prosecution witness, pleaded guilty in August 2004 to aiding and abetting securities fraud. Jurors singled out his and Glisan's testimony as the most persuasive.
6. Michael Kopper , former top Fastow aide, was the first company insider to plead guilty.

7. Paula H. Rieker , former No. 2 executive in investor relations and corporate secretary.
