Martha Stewart Indicted...Witch Hunt at Full Throttle (merged)
never mind that guys share this sort of information on a daily basis on the golf course of the world as casually as one would share a stick of gum
and never mind that buy and sell orders a placed on the hour, every hour, every single day that the market is open...
she's a she
and she pissed one too many people off on the way up
and now they got it in for her big time.
and just like a political scandal
it doesn't matter if she ultimately beats the rap
they dragged her white coat through the mud and club soda is not going to get that stain out.

Moving there now.
I don't like Martha. She gives me the wiggins. However, seeing her indicted before the big guns of Worldcom or Enron doesn't sit right with me either.
Screed

Agreed 110%
her big problem appears to be the obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges more than the securities fraud. i mean she could do leona helmsley time.

Always nice to stumble across fellow Hendrie listeners...
Martha was probably just as coked out of her mind on the market as the rest of the greedy bastards. It's too bad we could sustain day traders (that actually made sense in 1999) and the the Dow at 36,000 indefinitely.
As for those cocksuckers at Eron, they should shoot every last one of them. They SERIOUSLY fukked over a whole lot of people.
At the very least they give ALL their possessions to the people they screwed---that goes for Martha as well.

Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling of Enron and Bernie Ebbers of WorldCom should all have received indictments before Stewart. Stewart made - what - $50k out of the insider trade (and lost about $400 million in the wake of the scandal)? How many millions did those guys pull in from dodgy deals and fraudulent reporting? And how many millions belonging to their stockholders and employees did they wipe out?
I totally agree.
Why doesn't our "librul media" go after the real corporate criminals? Why don't they explore the connections between Bush/Cheney and Enron? Dubya and Ken Lay were even daily golf buddies, and our "librul media" says not a word about it when Dubya recites speeches about getting tough on corporate criminals. WTF?

Take a guess who Martha was dating at this time. That is why she is guilty. There is a lot more to this than people think.
And who was it...? Sorry if everybody else knows, I haven't paid any attention to this at all in the news.
Maybe this should go in the other Martha Stewart thread but it seems very weird that she would resign as CEO of a company that is based soley around her on charges that most lawyers think are absurd. (ie manipulating her companies stock by saying she was not guilting of something she hasn't been charged with).

Something else is going on that hasn't been made public. There doesn't seem to be any rational reason why she would resign.
Maybe after all these years she finially realized she isn't perfect.

Do you realize how much of your time a major courtroom battle can eat up? Especially when you have design and then coordinate all of the stationery for the legal paperwork?

Oh like there's some kind of que that can only indict people one at a time? Most important people at the top? Or maybe there's independent investigations that have little to nothing and all the way to nada and zipo to do with one another?

Um? they did. Or is this one of those threads where we claim "no one is reporting on this" when in fact EVERYONE reported on it.
His name starts with Sam... and yes it is true.
