Simon and Schuster havn't learned the most important lesson: "It's not the crime; it's the cover-up."

Myself, I think the SEC should send in the auditors.

S&S's moves sound familiar:

Martha has been indicted not for insider trading but b/c prosecutors have overwhelming evidence that she broke Title 18, Sec. 1505 of the United States Code, which makes it a felony crime to obstruct and impede a lawful investigation by the federal government.

Apparently Martha entered into a conspiracy to hide the truth by lying to investigators from the getgo which is a crime all by itself, even though she may or may not be subsequently charged with insider trading or something else.

Martha and her broker are charged with calculatedly lying to government investigators - repeatedly, continuously and consciously - over a period of at least three months for the express purpose of covering up their actions.

Martha is charged with personally altering company records and colluding in a coverup.

And when Martha went on the CBS morning show and told Jane Clayson and the audience (while chopping cabbage), that there was nothing to worry about, she was actually breaking the law by deceiving her stockholders b/c she failed to alert her stockholders that there indeed was a problem.

Collusion? Cover-up? Lying? Gosh, I hope Hitlery is not a part of this (smirk).
