By Ken Ward Jr. On Feb. 20, 2009, then-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship was working at home as the weekend began. "It's Friday evening and I'm sort of reviewing man-hours at the house," Blankenship said in a memo. Blankenship indicated that he wasn't happy with the man-hour reports he saw for Massey operations being run by a longtime company official, David Hughart.
