Thank you for your concise outline of the case, I haven't really kept up with it. Your conclusion of "I would probably dump my shares too" is exactly what I have been thinking.

My question to the learned people of this forum is: What would have been the proper thing for Martha Stewart to do after hearing that her investment was going down the tubes?

Yeah, it is just white collar crime. It ain't like looting a store during a riot.

White collar criminals don't need the distraction of a riot to loot.

Were I in her position, I would have held the shares, taken a small bath on the loss, and reported Bacanovic for passing on inside info.

Avoiding not just impropriety but also the appearance of impropriety is crucial.

Well, had I been Martha, and having been a broker, I would have realized that the next action I took could have been illegal.
