The Prettiest Jail Cell
Picture this, its a chilly autumn afternoon, there's a slight wind, just enough to throw the leaves around in the yard and there's a pot of spiced cider warming on the old wood stove.
Only there are bars on the windows, the door doesn't open unless someone unlocks it for you first and you're Martha Stewart, kicking yourself in the ass again for not eating the $100k loss and being free.

Instead, you're a greedy idiot who illegally dumped a biotech stock, got caught and now you get to figure out how to manage your empire from prison.

Its not really news anymore because pretty well everybody knows she did it, Stewart Took Insider Tip, Dumped Stock.

Now its just a question of how badly smacked down she will be by the sentencing.

Martha Stewart in jail with the most tastefully decorated jail cell ever. With her sales skills, she'll probably turn it into a new market.

And next time, Martha, say thanks for the illegal tip and don't act! Eat the loss because I'm sure losing a hundred K is far, far easier to stomach than the $600 million hit your empire has taken since all of this began.

Doh! doesn't even begin to cover the colossal size of that screwup!
