I don't know, what about the white collar crime of Enron that ruined HUNDREDS of lives by taking all their retirement savings, while they bought million dollar homes..etc.?

Jail. Some white collar criminals should get jail time IMO. I think Martha should have just gotten house arrest for 1-3 mos. 5 mos in jail was way excessive.

It seems the tall poppy syndrome exists in America too, it is just when people get too big people will do anything to drag them down, sad really.

Anyway - I'm also not a fan but glad she's out and I do think it's admirable that she just went ahead and did the time....now she can put it all behind her and move on
What makes me mad about the whole thing was that Martha used to be a broker, she knew the rules and she just didn't care! She knew what she was doing was illegal and wrong, but that didn't stop her!

I'm happy for her though. She didn't deserve it in the first place.

That poncho she was wearing was fab!

Really? Did it harm people who were already rich? I'm not very schooled on exactly what the whole insider trading thing involves...

She sold her shares of ImClone right before it was announced that it would not garner FDA approval. She made about $40,000, I think? I mean come on, the woman is a billionaire. No one was harmed by that. Hell, her broker probably made himself a nice commission.

It still is illegal regardless of how "lame" it may have been, or how many people it didn't hurt!

Would be saying this because she happens to be an incredibly generous monetary contributor to the Democrats?

I don't exactly see you hooting and hollering over Bush's insider trading.
