"I'm glad you'll feel safer walking down the street minus the threat of your being mugged by Martha Stewart and her posse."


What I will feel safer about is knowing that maybe some other trained/licensed ex-stock broker who worked on Wall Street is not selling shares early (on inside information) in a company that I also own shares in. Maybe this conviction will clean things up in the world of stocks...even a little would help. If I'm trusting a company enough to hand over some of my hard-earned money, I expect to be treated equal to someone like Martha Stewart.

Very well stated, Maria. These are crooks who undermine investor confidence and destabilize our market economy. Vultures like Waksal, Bacanovic and Stewart build companies and profit from them on the backs of thousands of investors like you and then rob them blind. It amazes me that such obvious criminals would have so many apologists.

You've got it exactly right. How would the people defending her like to have been a retiree purchasing her stock when she sold it. She cheated someone(s) out of money no different than selling a apartment that had been condemned and not revealing it.
