- Over2Chars 2y agoReally? Hmmm "The grand jury returned an indictment on June 4, 2003, charging Stewart with conspiracy, obstruction of justice, making false statements, and securities fraud." https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp2/287/461/2476089/ https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp2/... I think she beat "securities fraud", but was convicted on conspiracy, obstruction, and making false statements: https://web.archive.org/web/20040307121033/https://money.cnn.com/2004/03/05/news/companies/martha_verdict/index.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20040307121033/https://money.cnn... So, yeah, technically she didn't get convicted of insider trading/securities fraud, but managed a felony conviction around the charges. Good catch. So I guess we can't easily dismiss Martha from our category of people we refuse to promote.
