That's a good thing.
It's a good thing to let off a whole damned corrupt family in a trade for Martha Stewart? I don't think so.
The sources added that Dr. Waksal — concerned that his father and other daughter would also face charges — sent a message that he would be willing to plead guilty to insider-trading related crimes if the government was willing not to pursue charges against the other members of his family.
My thoughts exactly....I've always thought that Martha Stewart was somewhat of a red herring in this whole matter. She may have done some insider trading, but nothing to the extent that the owner's family did.
I agree, get'em all!
How likely is it that they would find the people who
bought the stocks which are now worth so much
less and reimburse them? Does that ever happen?
I didn't think so. Off to the hoosegow.
You are absolutely right. No plea negotiations. Let everyone involved swing gently in the wind. We can expect further revelations and investigations into corporate malfeasence as this plays out. These "elitists" will turn on each other in an attempt to save their greedy selves. They must go down before individual investor confidence can be restored to the marketplace.
