I don't feel any sympathy for her at all. She sounds nothing less than arrogant and spited. She feels as if she's done no wrong in lying and stealing and will appeal.

She has alot of money and lives under and by a different standard. I'd feed her to the dogs along with all the other corporate slime that looted money from the rest of us. Where's Robin Hood when ya need him.

I hope Ken Lay gets raped up the ass daily at a maximum security prison on Devil's Island or something.

No, I'm not joking.

A good article till about half way through where whe made the comment:
"wearing a dark pant suit..." Cmon who cares what she was wearing.

Why are federal minumum sentences so low for this and so high for drug based offences? I remember 'thou shalt no steal' in the 10 commandments but I don't remember 'though shalt not partake of the waccy baccy'.

She deserves whatever she gets, but I can't help being annoyed that they chose her and acted like they are really cracking down on insider trading. The stock market is the world's oldest 'Old Boy Network' and those guys are filthier than filthy with insider trading. The SEC throws us chump change like Martha Stewart and thinks we should be impressed.
