"These people are trained to make you lie." Sorry, I don't buy that victim position. I believe any lie she told was a willful attempt to conceal her version of reality, which she knew to be questionable. I agree that they are likely expert interrogators who know how to help you hang yourself, but you have to want to tell the lie when you get there. I've read about cases numerous times in the past 20 years where family members and friends have had to give back money made (and sometimes receive convictions) for trading on insider information. I really don't know how this case differs. I do care about justice, and I find it reprehensible that this case dominated the media when billions of dollars have been diverted from the public (retirement plans, etc.) due to insider fraud, money managers publicly hyping stock but privately selling (wasn't that the Magellan fund?), and very few of those folks who've done far greater damage have yet had to suffer any consequences. But then, wasn't that the point of going after Martha Stewart?
