Home Corner Articles Authors ... Print Version March 09, 2004, 9:01 a.m. The railroading of Martha Stewart. I 'm anything but a fan of Martha Stewart, and the idea of her stuck in a cage making baskets of potpourri for the next two years is not at all unappealing. Stewart lost all my respect when, after the first indictment against her came down, she accused her adversaries of being part of a vast right-wing conspiracy against her. Something tells me that the twelve men and women of the jury who convicted her of four felonies were not right-wingers getting back at her for her left-wing policy positions. Nonetheless, Stewart's felony conviction on Friday was a miscarriage of justice; there can be little doubt that she is being hung out to dry much more for her celebrity status and wealth than for her transgressions, which were minimal. She is in many ways a victim of the witch-hunt against corporate excess and corporate accounting scandals, all the rage on the left these days. Throughout this trial, what seemed to be forgotten was that Stewart's original crime, an alleged insider-trading deal with ImClone stock, can hardly be considered a crime at all. (I know that Stewart was convicted for lying to federal investigators, but the "lying" and obstruction-of-justice charges were all related to this one sale of stock that occurred 24 hours before the market tanked.)

Home Corner Articles Authors ... Print Version March 09, 2004, 11:37 a.m. Ms. Perfect The case against Domestic Diva Martha Stewart. I n most trials, the court attempts to select jurymen who know nothing about the case to be tried. It is assumed that, if someone knows nothing about the case, he can hardly hold prejudiced views about it. In the Martha Stewart case, the ideal juror would appear to have been someone who knew nothing whatsoever about Martha Stewart. Well, bully for her: She overcame these perceptions to build a commercial empire and become a success in a medium (television) already notorious for its synthetic and simpering "niceness" to begin with. That, at least, is my reaction. That's not a common reaction, however. Since well before the verdict, newspapers and television news programs have been slavering at the prospect of the "domestic diva" behind bars. To judge from the level of hostility to Stewart's personality, it must have been almost impossible to find a jury not prejudiced against her. And the guilty verdict delivered last Friday might almost be as much the jury's rebuke to her irritating perfectionism as a response to the evidence. For this is surely a case that should never have been brought in the first place.

6. Reason insider trading" should not be a crime. By Brian Doherty nostalgic relic of the 80s, the supposedly heinous crime of insider trading. The SEC reports a nearly 50 percent http://www.reason.com/hod/bd062502.shtml

June 25, 2002 Free Samuel Waksal "Insider Trading" should not be a crime. By Brian Doherty Poor Samuel Waksal. Back in December, the Food and Drug Administration struck a grave blow to his company, ImClone Systems, by denying it the right to market a potential cancer treatment it had developed. Then two weeks ago the FBI arrested him (and the Securities and Exchange Commission sued him) for letting relatives know about the FDA’s plan before it issued its press release. They sold ImClone stock before it started dropping upon news of the FDA’s decisions. So did Waksal's pal Martha Stewart, and the news is causing her no end of trouble and lost stock value for her own company although she denies being tipped off. Waksal, who recently resigned as CEO of ImClone, faces a potential 75 years in prison, plus fines, if found guilty of all charges. It’s the return of that nostalgic relic of the ‘80s, the supposedly heinous crime of insider trading. The SEC reports a nearly 50 percent rise in insider-trading cases from 2000 to 2001. It has been off the front pages so long that it pays to think about what insider trading really is, such that a (formerly) highly respected immunologist should be locked up in a cell for the rest of his life for it.

El Cato March 9, 2004 Martha's Mistrial: The Insider Trading Accusation Came from a Cowardly Press Leak from a Congressional Committee by Alan Reynolds Alan Reynolds is a senior fellow with the Cato Institute and a nationally syndicated columnist. Despite the assertions of both jurors and journalists, Martha Stewart was not convicted of insider trading. This misrepresentation is chilling. Martha Stewart has been convicted of conspiring to cover-up a crime she was not accused of having committed insider trading. She was convicted of "lying" but never charged with perjury. Martha Stewart was also convicted of "obstructing justice" without any explanation of how the prosecution of anyone but herself could have been obstructed by her first attorney's explanation of what motivated her to make a perfectly legal sale of ImClone stock. On the evening of the Martha Stewart verdict, the U.S. public radio show Marketplace opened with David Brown saying, "It's rare that a case involving insider trading attracts such attention." Unfortunately, this case attracted only careless attention. Reporters paid considerable attention to the handbags Ms. Stewart was carrying, but not to the eccentric nature of the alleged crimes. As a result, Mr. Brown and the jury came to imagine the Martha Stewart case involved insider trading. It did not. There is a dubious SEC civil case pending, but that has to do with fines, not crimes.

Macey Jonathan R. Macey is a professor of law at Cornell University. Executive Summary Although the ethical and economic aspects of insider trading regulation have been discussed at length, only recently have commentators begun to examine the political aspects of this practice.[1] The virtual total neglect of the political side of the story is particularly curious in light of the fact that regulation of insiders' trading practices has become a highly politicized issue and has prompted numerous hearings[2] and bills[3] in Congress. At present, a battle for the right to regulate insider trading is being fought among Congress, the regulators at the SEC, and the federal judiciary. Each of these organizations has an institutional (if not political) interest in regulating the trading practices of insiders, and those interests are reflected in the regulations and proposals they have promulgated. Not surprisingly, the federal judiciary, insulated as it is by the relative independence from political pressures brought about by Article III of the Constitution, has promulgated the most sensiblethough not thoroughly sensiblerules about insider trading.[4] It is dissatisfaction with these rules among powerful political constituencies that has led the SEC and Congress to attempt to abrogate the clear rules developed by the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts over the last several years.

The Non-Crime of Insider Trading by Charles McDowell For some reason that completely escapes me, most people cheer from the sidelines when the SEC has upstanding businessmen handcuffed and hauled away for the so-called crime of insider trading . Why is this? Given that there is nobody who can claim to be the victim of insider trading, all I can figure is that they cheer out of jealousy and resentment. According to the SEC, insider trading is the act of buying or selling a security while in possession of relevant, "nonpublic" information about that security. A person is also in violation if they "tip" this nonpublic information, whatever that means. First of all, the law is ambiguous and necessarily arbitrary. What is "nonpublic" information and what is "tipping"? If I have a web site with 100 members and I provide some information, is that "tipping," or is the information now public? How about 1000 members? 10,000? What if the site is CNN.com? Certainly, nobody has

Encyclopedia Dictionary Thesaurus The Web eBooks loadkeyword("Insider trading"); Insider trading Encyclopedia Definition: Insider trading nl:handel met voorkennis Insider trading is the trading of a security of a company ( e.g. shares or options ) by an insider , a person who knows information that is not accessible to the public. Illegal inside trading occurs when the insider violates a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence by virtue of the insider trading. Thus, some insider trading is legal and other is illegal, depending on whether there is a breach of trust. Generally, however, the term is used in the context of trades improperly using insider information. An example of illegal insider trading may be that you, as an assistant to the Chief Executive Officer, learn that your company is going to be taken over before it is announced to the stock exchange . Knowing that such a move is liable to cause the price to rise, you buy shares in the company and subsequently profit from the transaction. Within a company, there are many people who might have access to information that might be construed as privileged to their position in the company. Nevertheless, they may wish to trade in the shares of their company (

Market observers have reported that it was seen "all the time involving brokers and institutions" or that they saw insider trading "... during the bull market". According to some financial advisers, "in terms of its frequency, insider trading is a small matter but it has the potential to destroy the market". According to others, there is a link between takeovers and insider trading. What is the true story? Casino capitalism?

Officials, brokers, merchant bankers, partners in law firms, financial advisers, financial journalists, and many others were interviewed and invited to offer their perceptions of the incidence of insider trading abd to comment on the effectiveness of regulation in the industry.

Insider trading in Australia / R Tomasic Canberra : Australian Institute of Criminology, 1991 ISBN 642 15877 (Australian studies in law, crime and justice series) ; pp 69-78 You can succeed by relying on fundamentals but inside information beats fundamentals. (A Sydney broker) The reasons for the apparent proliferation of insider trading both in Australia and overseas are manifold. The recent rash of insider trading activity is often attributed to the level of greed which is said to drive the securities industry. This factor should not be discounted, but it is clear that other factors are also at work not the least of which has been the unprecedented range of opportunities for insider trading in recent years. The relationship between crime and opportunity is well established within the criminological literature but little has been written about how this relationship arises in the context of insider trading, a crime theoretically punishable theoretically until recently by five years gaol and/or a $20,000 fine in the case of individuals and a fine of $50,000 in the case of corporations. Likely insider trading situations There was no consensus amongst brokers about whether insider trading is more or less likely in second board stock. But despite their differences on this point most brokers shared an uncomplimentary opinion of second board companies. However, the financial advisers agreed uniformly that the area of the market where insider trading is most likely to occur seems to be in the lower quality stocks, such as the speculative, mining and second board stocks. An interesting observation was that originally insider trading was limited to tightly held stock, but in the last two years vast amounts of money have been available and this leads to more insider trading. Cross directorships, trading on rumours, stocks that respond to good news, and stocks whom players are share trading to enlarge their business profits, were seen as situations which led to insider trading. There was no common view among Stock Exchange officials on this matter.

May be recopied, distributed or posted on the worldwide web for non-profit purposes only. Editor's Notes - In Part I of this series FTW, thanks to the brilliant research of Tom Flocco, demonstrated that the CIA has, in fact, been involved in monitoring stock trades on world financial markets, and that current CIA executives have had recent business relationships with firms handling obvious insider trades connected to the attacks of September 11th. Those connections ran directly into the heart of German financial giant Deutschebank. In Part II we documented that a former Deutschebank executive, Kevin Ingram, had recently been convicted on drug and money laundering charges that were directly a result of attempts to arm Islamic terrorist groups. Now in Part III, we conclude this series by revealing a devastating conflict of interest in investigating these leads on the part of President George W. Bush by virtue of his own past insider trading through Harken Energy in Bahrain and Kuwait. The Administration's apparently deliberate omission of key mid-Eastern banks in these two countries from post 9-11 investigations suggests clearly that the principal financial institutions of the countries where Harken did business have something to hide which the Bush Administration does not want to see the light of day - especially as potentially explosive Enron investigations gather steam.

19. Martha Stewart’s ‘Crime’ By Tibor R. Machan Martha Stewart’s ‘crime’. Indeed, the trial bore this out since the allegation of insider trading, as vague as that idea is, was dismissed. http://www.lewrockwell.com/machan/machan47.html

Martha Stewart’s ‘Crime’ by Tibor R. Machan by Tibor R. Machan Let me start by noting that I am no expert in SEC regulations. The law isn’t my area of concern here, ethics is. Did Martha Stewart do anything morally or ethically wrong? What did she do? What we know of is that she had sold stock in a company that was about to go down before anyone else but some of her close pals knew this. We don’t know how she came to decide to sell, whether it was because she was told about the future prospects of the company, because she had an educated guess guiding her, she overheard something that alerted her, she had friends in high places whose behavior indicated it’s time to sell, or perhaps there was an agreement, as she claims, that she should sell if the stock gets to a certain price. We know she sold in time to escape the effects of the company’s downturn. Since in a free society the law ought only to punish those who have been convicted of some kind of rights violation, including failure to heed one’s contractual obligations, it isn’t possible to tell now whether Ms. Stewart did anything that should be illegal. Indeed, the trial bore this out since the allegation of insider trading, as vague as that idea is, was dismissed.

Insider Trading by Tony Kondaks When a transaction from an insider-supplied tip on a publicly-traded stock exchange occurs, the laws of supply and demand ensure that the buyer or seller on the other side of that transaction benefits. Insider-trading tips are, by definition, exclusive and not commonly or publicly-held information. Those on the other side of the transaction are not privy to this information; indeed, if they were, logic dictates that they would be performing the opposite transaction. A stock-exchange is the coming together of a large number of buyers and sellers who transact their business anonymously. I have no clue who buys the shares I sell nor who sells the shares I buy. But the buying and selling that takes place on the floor of the stock exchange is subject to the laws of supply and demand. Suppose I have insider information that company A is not going to receive FDA approval on a drug it has been working on for years. Selling my stock before this information becomes public knowledge would be prudent because, once known, it is logical to assume the stock price will fall.
