She was accused of making false statements to committing insider trading and the issues surround that claim, so they prosecuted her for statements they claimed false about a crime, insider trading, which they did not charge her with. So combined with charges of security fraud is what they ultimately got her with.
so how can you lie about something you are never taken to court for? if she was guilty of insider trading it would make sense to prosecute that, prove that, then that proves the charge of not telling the truth.
this is all part and parcel of federal prosecutions where they lay on as many charges as possible in order to intimidate you. Welcome to the world that led to Aaron Swartz's death.
