If Martha Stewart were on the loose, we'd all be in trouble... this is what we have prisons for? Ridiculous...

While I do agree with you, she did break the law, and when an individual unloads a large amount of stock in a company it hurts the smaller shareholders by driving the price down. I doubt she'll serve any jail time at all, but she should have to at least pay back all of her gains from the sale of the stock. But, she won't have to do that either, some of the most notorious pump & dump artists only have to pay back a fraction of what they make. Sad but true.
