Sounds to me like you have no idea what she is charged with.I have not looked up the charges because I don't care what she is charged with or what they do or do not do to her. (although I know enough to know the premise of this absurd article is a bunch of cr@p).
Whatever she is charged with, if she got a tip from the CEO and unloaded her stock based on that tip before it nosedived, she is a crook-- and a very greedy one at that.
OK, I'll break it down for all of you: Martha Stewart has not been charged with insider trading. She is essentially being charged with "thought crimes." Seriously.
The Feds
investigated Stewart for insider trading, and cleared her due to lack of evidence. Seriously.
But the Feds had taken a beating with all the corporate scandals and they needed a very public victory. They needed a scapegoat. So the Feds charged he with stock manipulation, saying that when she declared her innocence to reporters, her real intention was to bolster the share price of Marth Stewart Omnimedia, of which is was President, CEO, and a major shareholder. Seriously.
Who among us, when being investigated for a crime would not profess our innocence? I am not making this up. Anybody who examines the charges will see that the situation is that simple. So, no, I am no fan of Martha, but I definitely hope she gets off. So should you.
