Re: martha gets 5 months

Martha's pretty far removed from the action on this one: sombody's brother's cousin's girlfriend is an exec at company X and passes information along that there will probably be bad news breaking in a few days. Martha's broker catches the tip, calls Martha and informs her both of the tip *and* the fact that it's based on inside info, and Martha cashes out just ahead of the nosedive. That's a very attenuated connection at best.

Insider trading? Sure, I suppose it technically is but pre-Enron this thing would've gotten laughed right out of the office with no charges ever brought. Fact is I doubt that any of us here would've held the stock and went down with the ship. If there's a bad guy here it's the broker, not the client.

IIRC he got about the same sentence which was good to see.

I read where Heidi Fleiss is advising Martha to 'go gay' while in the big house for protection, etc. Apparently based on personal experience. If Heidi was involved, I'd watch that movie! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'd smack her in the ass a few times with a damp Martha brand beach towel for a cool mill....hell why not.
