question 124

Essay

In May 2010, Martha Stewart gave an interview to the New York Times magazine in which she was asked, "Do you find it odd that the SEC investigated you for insider trading, which resulted in your conviction in 2004, while letting a sociopath like Bernie Madoff run unchecked?"   (Mr. Madoff ran a $50 billion Ponzi scheme). Ms. Stewart responded, "Let me just say one thing. They should have been paying closer attention to other things." She then added that she never stole anyone's money like Madoff did. Evaluate Ms. Stewart's comments in the context of ethical analysis, a credo, and her attitude about ethics in business.
