Skilling v. United States 561 U.S. ___ (2010) was a United States Supreme Court case interpreting the honest services fraud statute 18 U.S.C. § 1346. The court held in the case involving former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling that the honest services fraud statute which prohibits a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services covers only bribes and kickback schemes. Ultimately Skilling’s sentence was reduced by 10 years as a result.
