She is charged with "insider trading" of a public stock. That is
illegal. Martha should know - she used to be a stockbroker. (The charge of
defrauding investors in her own company was dismissed yesterday. That was
a very weak charge that I'm surprised prosecutors ever brought. However,
the insider trading charge remains and also carries serious penalties.)

As they say, "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime." Only time
will tell if the jury finds her guilty.

Actually, she wasn't charged with insider trading. She was charged with
obstruction of justice, making false statmentments, another charge related
to covering up her alleged illegal stock transaction. In addition, she was
charged with securities fraud because she proclaimed her innocence and that
supposedly was an attempt to boost stock prices in her company (which she is
a major stock holder.) Friday, the judge dismissed the securities fraud
charge because "no reasonable juror could have convicted her." This is a
case where the cover-up was worse than the crime. It also goes to show that
being cooperative and making statements of any kind is often not in your
best interest, even if you aren't guilty of a crime.

Gosh, Eric, isn't that kind of unnecessary when you get all those
free OTC stock tips emailed to you by anonymous spammers?

Just posting in usenet occassionally should get you enough stock
recommendations for a full portfolio plan.
