Can someone ELI5 what exactly he apparently did wrong?

It's confusing, I hear people say he "escaped" and I hear people say he should be prosecuted for escaping. Weird.

Basically Enron except he stole the money [1]. (Also, less of it.)

I'm not familiar with Enron, but he just simply stole money into his personal accounts?

Yup! (I mean, it went to subsidiaries for pay his family and his own entities. Or was laundered to pay for a party at Versailles. Fairly standard stuff.)
