"They put Martha Stewart in jail."

Last night, I was reminded of why Martha Stewart was sent to jail and some
others are not.  The classic counter point to Martha Stewart is Jon
Corzine.  A little comparison

Corzine:

Former Senator, Governor
Bundler for President Obama.
Goldman Sachs CEO
Male


Stewart:

Not a politician
Not a bundler
Does not and has not worked for Goldman.
Female


A little refresher on Corzine from Zero Hedge (
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-10-31/case-against-corzine ):

Trying to portray Corzine as being focused on mundane things like finding a
job rather than worried about doing jail time for his obvious crimes
appears to be another prong of Corzine’s attorneys’ use of the Chewbacca
Defense <http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/103454/the-chewbacca-defense>,
along with saying that the fraud charges “Make No
Sense,”<http://www.cnbc.com/id/49504584/Corzine_Lawyers_MF_Global_Lawsuit_Makes_No_Sense>
because
the money 
“Vaporized”<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203920204577191014034430488.html>
and
he had no motive since he had a de minimis portion of his net worth
invested in MF Global stock. However, proving Corzine committed fraud and
perjury would be relatively simple for any motivated prosecutor. Since the
Department of Justice clearly is not motivated to prosecute Corzine after
he bundled $500,000+ in campaign contributions to their
boss<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEGjc46RoCQ>,
I provide this quick and easy guide for any ambitious state prosecutor to
bring charges themselves:

   1. Corzine’s motive was not making money in the ‘buy a private jet’
   sense. It was showing others that he was a great trader to validate his
   narcissism. In spite of his assertions before Congress that he “Simply does
   not know where the money went,” Jon Corzine created a totalitarian
   corporate culture where only yes men were tolerated.
   2. MF Global was under liquidity stress well before the bankruptcy and
   its executives knowingly used customer funds to meet internal liquidity
   needs well before its ‘chaotic’ final days.
   3. The customer money did not ‘vaporize,’ and it was *not*lost via a
   Rule 1.25 investment- it was knowingly transferred to meet margin calls at
   JP Morgan, and MF Global executives knowingly falsified segregation reports
   to provide plausible deniability for the illegal transfers, and made them
   against CME Group’s express instructions to the contrary.

It’s not coincidental that that’s what the Recovery Act is. Jon Corzine
helped craft the Recovery Act. It’s not coincidental that the things he did
here turned out to be the exact same things the recovery act has because
way back in the transition period before we were sworn in, when Barack
Obama and I were literally sitting at a desk in a high rise in Chicago
beginning to plan how we would try to get this economy out of a
ditch, literally the first guy I called was Jon Corzine. Not a joke. Not a
joke. Because first of all, he’s the smartest guy I know in terms of the
economy and on fi
