I wonder if the people who lost their life savings feel that Margaret Stewart is responsible for that happening? What she did had no influence on the collapse, it was going to happen anyway and not because of anything Margaret had done. If someone told me to sell my shares in a company because they knew it was going down the gurgler, I would do so immediatly.

The problem i see in all this is the beat up and the scale of the crime. She didn't reap huge profits at others expense, it was a victimless crime. A petty matter where a big fine would suffice.
