Causey is alleged to have helped ex-finance director Fastow conceal fraudulent deals and payments that contributed to the collapse of the company in 2001.

Fastow has already entered a plea bargain that sees him admit to two counts of conspiracy to commit fraud and help the authorities with investigations into other company executives, including Causey. In return he receives a ten-year jail sentence, according to the Times.
