Martha Stewart did jail time for insider trading. Turns out the SEC isn't messing around, and they don't hand out community service, probation and fines for this stuff.

That's a common misconception. She did not do jail time for insider trading. She almost certainly would have gotten away with it. The problem is she lied to a federal agent while trying to hide her inside trading. That's what they charged and convicted her with.

Ahhhh, solid reference. At first I thought you were saying insider trading was a good thing and I was thoroughly confused.

Martha has been off of people's radars for a while now. I may need new material.
