Martha was most likely guilty, but i don’t think that’s why she was charged or convicted. Charges were brought on her to make an example out of someone famous who people generally don’t like -- and it probably helps that she’s a successful woman. Honestly i’m somewhat surprised at the hatefulness expressed in this thread -- none of know Martha, and even if you did and your personality assessments are based on something more than conjecture being a bitch isn’t illegal. Insider trading happens everyday and while I see why the law against it exists I do not see how anyone expects it too be followed -- EVERYONE involved in the stock market is constantly looking for a “hot tip” and it is often rather difficult to see the line between that and breaking the law.
