I often wonder if it ever pisses Martha Stewart off that she did time for a crime that nowadays, is just seemingly a part of doing business for the super-rich. (as well as much much worse)
The world has gotten so much more fucked up since then. A little insider trading to save a few measly millions is NOTHING compared to what blatantly do in the open nowadays.
Wasn't she also jailed in the US? I never understood why politicians there are allowed to do insider trading. Then again, previous prime minister where im from basically did the same, but said "sorry", so it's cool.
It is explicitly not illegal for Congress to do what Martha did. There was an article yesterday that Pelosi just made like 500k doing it?
One of the actual "both sides are shitty" examples is insider trading. It seems like a no-brainer that it should be illegal for our politicians to do it, but they refuse to vote on a bill to make it so.
It seems Martha's mistake wasn't the Insider trading, it was not running for office before she did it.

It was the cover up that really sunk her.
