I read somewhere (National Review maybe?) that Martha S. was absolutely not guilty of insider trading - that even if she had said she sold because her broker advised her Imclone's CEO was selling, that is still not insider trading.

Yeah, that's my view. Some Appeals judge who's a keen Demo'rat will remember all the $$ she's given his party, and will take her off the hook. Instead of worrying about how much more than you Martha has EARNED, you ought to figure out how to EARN some big bucks yourself so you can grow out of this infantile class-envy garbage.
It's really holding you back.

Sam W. calling her up and saying "sell" is insider-trading.
Her broker calling her up and saying "Sam W. is selling" is not insider information.
It's the same exact information you can get from the SEC, because insiders are required to notify the SEC when they buy or sell.
The DA was on a fishing expedition and manufactured a crime.
This is the same sort of garbage that the Florida DA is pulling on Rush Limbaugh.
Martha will, however, win on appeal.

Successful men are ruthless frequently. When women are all sorts of labels get attached to them that are less than flattering.
Martha Stewart built an empire. My guess is she is a perfectionist and often is difficult to work with.
If she was a man she would be praised for toughness and the competitive spirit.
