You do have a point with the ImClone insider stock trading she did. First and foremost she has her own corporation selling interior decorating stuff through KMart (if I remember right, I don't keep up with frauds like her) and stockholders own shares of that corporation. Of course her corporation is worth what I am guessing is $400M vs ImClone which is worth a fraction of that amount.

Second she thought could profit from her ImClone shares which altogether are less than three-quarters of a million dollars, to her I call that pocket money. She got too greedy here, she made a couple bucks from her ImClone shares but at the same time when her insider stock trading became known her OWN stock plummeted so she lost bigtime here.

As for Martha Stewart herself whenever she has her show filmed in her hometown of Nutley, NJ she has the cops fence off the whole block and people who live within that block can't go home until the filming is over. Also in order for her to succeed in America she feels she must abandon ALL traces of her Polish heritage (born Martha Helen Kostyra). Nobody should feel that way in order to succeed in America. And yes she blames others for her personal problems.

Anyways like Martha Stewart right now I have a huge kitchen knife in my hand and I really want to focus on my salad (hehe).

I don't even think it's a question of greed. I think her friend Waksal tried to do her an illegal favor. She had a legal obligation to turn him in, but then she'd be known as a squealer, a derogative I've seen many times her on FR. She's a loser either way.

She did / does the very same thing in Conn. and the neighbors HATE her !

She's also changed her accent, lied about her family, her background, her childhood, and so much more , that her new lies are just part of her usual performance. Her stock has been falling ( even though, one day, last week, some " bottom feeders " though it was a good buy, and sent it up some )and , IMHO, shall continue to do so; especially when she gets called before Congress again.
