I suspect old Martha could scrape enough coin together to make it worth taking the perjury rap for her and helping her get off the conviction...

Martha should be acquitted. She had standing orders to sell her stock once it reached a certain price. It was coincidental that this happened right before the Inclone thing. She may be a hard woman to deal with, but she's very innovative and smart. She should definately be cleared!

And NOT coincidental, because the CEO of Inclone SOLD HIS Shares the day before it crashed and he DID notify Martha's broker who inturn notified Martha. The CEO is now facing a 7 year prision term.
She is NOT charged with insider trading, she lied and she got what she deserves and she should at least spend a year or 2 in prision because all she gained from all of thsi was like $120,000.. she's a BILLIONAIRE and shes about $120K, she should be punished for being greety.

I'm sorry if I was mistaken. I agree she is driven to make more and more money, but who isn't. The fact that she only made $120,000 is proof to me that she wasn't guilty...compared the billions she has.
I seem to have a soft spot for the woman because she's been chosen to be the example that government wants to set.
I guess it all depends on your point of view. Either way, I think the manner in which the government handled this was a little unfair to Martha IMHO.Tommy Elliott

Now she's lost millions (about $750 million), she had to step down from her company, she's charged with four counts of obstructing justice and lying to investigators .
She brought this all upon herself.
Lieing gets you nowhere except into court.
I have no pitty for her.

The fact that she made 120k profit only proves that she made 120k profit. It speaks nothing of her innocence or guilt.

She never had/has billions of dollars. I think she was worth (on paper) over 1 Billion, just after the IPO of her company, but I'm not sure what happened from there with her nett worth. It's been on a steep decline though, since the height of her IPO. [/B]

Ack...I knew it just over a billion but my brain told my fingers type billions.
Well, we're each entitled to our own opinion. Like I said, I hope she goes free. But if they prove (especially after the guy purjured himself) that she's guilty...then she's guilty. I just hope she's not.Tommy Elliott
