Martha Stewart turns herself in

[Electrode]

I didn't see any posts about this. An interesting development for anyone who cares about it.

I heard that she might be indicted today

I don't know if she really broke the law or not but it sure looks fishy to me. If she did it - she should do time.

I can't wait to see how she dresses up the appearance of those flashy Orange Jumpsuits and
starts showing off the 'Metal Handicrafts for your Automobile' (Liscense Plates)

It's a good thing.

I think the real question here is....


WOULD YOU HIT IT???

U Americans have screwed up priorities. IMO, she didn't do anything wrong. Nothin' wrong with insider trading.

Except that no one would invest in the stock market if insider trading was legal and unpunished.

A few years ago, I told the girl I was dating at the time that she was "attractive - in a Martha Stewart kind of way."



She was NOT pleased.

That's why the TSE is considered a den of thieves.

I haven't been following her story that closely...has she given a reason for dumping the stock in question the day before the bottom fell out? Was it just an "I simply felt like selling it" excuse?

Putting Martha Stewart in jail is like having sex with your Grandma.

Wrong. Before it was illegal, people traded. Insider trading provides pretty fast information to the markets that something is up.

Hey, I bought Nortel at $30cdn, and went on national tv to brag about it. What can I say?

 

[JellyBaby]

She'll be okay. I'm certain golf course prisions have kitchens.

She faces 30 years prison time on a variety of charges with $2 million in fines.

Yeah, I saw on the news. I also saw that she pleaded not guilty. That means that the question I'm sure she was asked..."Did you use insider information pertaining to XXX stock?"...was answered with something like..."No, the reason I sold it the day before it bottomed out is yadda, yadda, yadda."

I'm interested in knowing what the yadda, yadda, yadda is.

Why?
Hers is a very small and almost insignificant case of insider trading. Compared to the other massive stock scandals that were happening at the same time and have gone unprosecuted, I think this is almost an injustice.

I like Martha

=exactly, and the jury will see though it... 4000 shares whoooohooo! This is a case of selective prosecution if I've ever seen one... to put a feather in some creatons hat.

She broke the law, she fabricated a cover up, she did insider trading that has specific rules of conduct that SHE knew about and was sworn to uphold (She has an SEC Lisence). She must defend herself, and first step is t odeclare innocence in order to get a trial by your peers. Do not for a moment believe her proclimation of inocense is anything more than a tool for a trial.

She faces jail and fines, and will argue she has suffered enough already because of her stock devaluation. I hope she loses it all, and the feds make her a model for prosecution of bigger fish, like Kenneth Lay.


But for those friends of this witch, Bush will pardon her when he leaves office. You can bank on that.
