Stealing a man's horse -- that's a felony. Rape -- a felony. Robbing a bank -- a felony. Assualt and battery -- a felony. Fraud of over an average month's wage -- a felony.
What Ms. Stewart did? Not even a misdemeanor. A private fine on the floor of the exchange at best.
Just WHY are you a BIG fan of Martha Stewart's? Because she's famous,you've bought into the hype,and/or because you are interested in cooking and artsy fartsy over the top crafty things? If it's only the latter,I can teach you far more than Martha can and it's ALL my own stuff,or recipes from GOOD cooks,whom I would give credit to;unlike Martha and I don't have a phony accent. LOL
Are you a member of any exchange? Have you ever worked on Wall Street (in the generic use of that term) in any capacity? Are you a lawyer,who deals specifically with securities? I bet the answer to all of those questions is a big fat NO.
I'm no fan of securities regulation as practised since the 30's. There's no such thing as an insider. Really.
Go lock yourself up -- since you enable that kind of FELONY with your jealous attitide.
Oh goody....you are against all of the securities regulations put into being since the '30s and don't "think" that there's any such thing as insider trading. ROTFLMSO
There IS such a thing as insider trading! There was and is a great need for a lot of the trading rules/laws.If they weren't in place,unscrupulous men/women/groups could and WOULD ruin this nation's economy and populace.
Should the Enron,Adelphia,and World Com. crooks be allowed to do what they did with impunity? Should Red Bone and others like him,be allowed to pull off scams indiscriminately? How about boiler room operations,many now run by members of the Mafia?
Martha was tried and convicted on perjury,tampering with evidence and a variety of other CRIMES and is about to face charges on insider trading,brought by the SEC.
Go ahead...YOU go break all of the laws that you don't "like" and see what happens to you. When caught,you won't get sent to a jail like camp cupcake;that I can assure you of. :-)
Yep.. Oh -- and John Hancock, too.
All choose to ignore the LAW!
Do you have a sense of humor AT ALL?
Drop it already!! my God!
You don't think our tax money is better spent confining other criminals?
Have you read the terms of her home confinement, what is your opinion?
If you don't think this type of "insider" trading doesn't go on EVERY day by any number of people, then you are sadly mistaken.
You are green with envy over Ms. Martha's success. If you have superior cooking/baking/homekeeping/organizing and marketing skills, I urge you to take the opportunity to start your own OMNIMEDIA.
Let me know, I'd be happy to invest. But for heaven's sake, don't let it get too "artsy fartsy".... geesh.
You better NEVER talk about wanting Slick Willie or any other Dem to be prosecuted. I'll remember,always,that you don't think that laws should ever be enforced. :-)
Let's see...you don't own FR,you aren't a Mod,and keep replying to me,but you're telling me to "drop it"? ROTFLOL
Most laws in free and stable countries should be obeyed. The overwhelming majority. There are, however, always some rare cases of bad laws -- and in some areas fulsome cascades of bad law after bad law. Securities law, CFR, and income tax laws come to mind.
Yes,I've read the terms of her house arrest and heard then ad nauseum on T.V.;it's hard to miss seeing/hearing about it. It's all pretty cut and dried,proforma.
Yes,insider trading goes on and so do all manner of other crimes,which I doubt you even know about. Some people get caught;some don't,but crime hurts the general public...which IS why there are laws against committing them.
I am not envious,in the least,of Martha;neither have I ever been jealous of her. I wouldn't trade my life for hers for anything.And I have less than no desire to start a company like OMNIMEDIA or anything like it.When would I have the time for FR? :-)
You keep ignoring MY questions,so I'll repeat just one of them and ask you to answer it. SHOULD RED BONE HAVE BEEN PUNISHED FOR WHAT HE DID FOR HILLARY AND OTHER AND TO OTHERS ?"
And if you don't know what he was notorious for doing,and I mean HOW he ran the scam,then you shouldn't even be talking about this topic.
And to test your knowledge of another market no-no....what's after the bell trading? And here's a new one for you to answer...what's after the bell trading?
Yes, you should spank him. While he's got his latex on, that is.
If you can't and are unable to explain what those two crimes are and how they're executed and what it does to others,then you just keep proving that you talk about things you don't know about and are incapable of comprehending.
The suspicious (to me) trading in the NYSE stock continues -- even as the company hits rotten cash-flow there's always some investors ready to buy anothe offering! He ends up dead -- suicide by small pistol to the head in bed. She inherits -- the paperwork is clean, all LEGAL.
She becomes wealthy. Moves out of the office and upstream in the world of the filthy rich.
Those golden accounts -- looted to run the stock up. But all meeting full regulatory muster. The CFO -- probably a murder, imo -- but CLEAN.
Who's the felon? Not the Black Widow. (Based on a true story.)
If that woman churned accounts/stole from them, it can be proven,she can be tried and sent to jail.
Thank you proving,yet again,that you know/understand nothing at all about this topic! :-)
All legal. By the letter.
Big help the regulators, eh?
