Re: Re: Author frustration.

Before this gets our of hand lets be real clear about what actually happened. Martha Stewart was a licensed stock broker who, for years, made a substantial living selling stock. Sam Waxel (sp?) owned a drug company and Stewart owned stock in that company. When Sam received information from the FDA that a drug was not approved he knew his stock would tank and he had his broker sell his daughters stock, and his as well, the day before the news became public. His broker told Stewart and she sold her stock as well. Both knew that the buyers of their sold stock would lose a substantial amount of money the next day. Stewart then lied to investigators about the transaction. She got 15 months and Sam got a number of years in prison. He got the big sentence and she got the small sentence. So much for Mark v's Martha.
