She made the mistake of lying, repeatedly, about a federal crime.

What federal crime?

Hank

Federal Crime of insider trading (not her, Waxel(sp)). Her buddy from ImClone was under investigation, which is how they came to even look at Martha in the first place. It was a legitimate investigation, and he went down hard. In the course of their investigation they came upon evidence leading them to Martha. When they interviewed her, she lied. That is what she was covincted of - giving knowingly false statements to investigators.

The feds didn't just pull her name out of thin air, people. The $$ trail and communications records trail led them to her. She could have avoided all of this, but she chose not to. Her bad decision cost her millions, and maybe her freedom.
