She is not going to the slammer for anything to do with the stocks. She is going because she lied to an all powerful government. She wasn't all that thrilled about Imclone anyways. The month before the sale in question, she sold 48,000 shares.
I agree. She was uppity with the Fed investigators and they got a hard on for her. I don't doubt she did something, but just how much money HAS she lost? Oprah has moved in on her territory with the home magazine nicely. Everyone is trying to take a swipe at that empire. She's out as CEO. Now, she's a %$"&^ from what I understand, but she's a good teacher, and I love some of her ideas, or the ideas she gets on the air anyway. Her mags are great. Furthermore, this is all she has. I am getting the picture anymore of beating someone who's down, and am tired of it, especially when she didn't rob peoples' pension fund and get off scot free, or kill someone in the White House or in a helicopter crash that was never investigated, or ruined a political career with a phone call. There is punishment, and then there's justice. Here, there's just City Hall. Frankly, I'd be a $#&@%, too, if I were sent through this torture chamber on a daily basis over time.
