"Martha will never be convicted of insider trader, as Martha never gave anything in return for the infomation."

Not required. She's a "tippee" and, if she got inside info knowing the same, she's toast, and not the French kind with homemade marmalade and twice whipped sweet cream.

In any event, trading on inside skinny is not Martha's problem. Much like the grifting, predating, say a lot but do nothing good 'Toon, her real criminal exposure lies in false statements, obstruction of justice and, likely, conspiracy with the broker to do as much. Oh well, we'll see if the Rule of Law will be applied to this one liberal elitist....

In any case, it's the cover-up that's gonna get her, not the crime.

Book her, Dan-o.

Yeah she'll probably be indicted for obstruction of justice, but not for insider trading, as Martha didn't give anything in return for the info.

Sex doesn't count - especially at Martha's age.
