Former HealthSouth Chairman Joins Long List of Executives Taking Fifth Amendment - from Tampa Bay Online: "Former HealthSouth Corp. chairman Richard Scrushy asserted his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination and refused to answer lawmakers' questions at a hearing Thursday."

He's not the only one, though. The list of those who have done likewise includes Ken Lay, Andy Fastow, Michael Kopper (Fastow's top lieutenant), David Duncan (Andersen's top auditor at Enron and the only person at Andersen to have been charged with a crime), Bernie Ebbers, Scott Sullivan (WorldCom CFO), and Sam Waksal.
