Because by 'dying', Lay's conviction was vacated. Of course, that meant he didn't go to jail but it also meant that he didn't pay any fines, leaving his rather large estate secure as an inheritance. W even went to his funeral.

Do you imply that Lay was not present at the funeral? I think that could be a pretty good idea for a movie...
