Martha Stewart's ImClone conviction and prison term

America's queen of domestic perfection traded a spotless domestic image for a prison jumpsuit in 2004, after a suspiciously well-timed stock sale landed her in federal court.

The full story

Martha Stewart was convicted in 2004 of obstruction and lying to investigators in connection with her ImClone stock sale, serving five months at Alderson Federal Prison Camp. Her comeback included a decades-spanning friendship and cooking show with Snoop Dogg.

The clues we handed out

— The stock was a biotech company called ImClone; she sold one day before the price collapsed.

— She served five months at a West Virginia facility inmates nicknamed “Camp Cupcake.”

— She was once the first female self-made billionaire in the U.S.

— Post-prison, she became unlikely best friends and co-hosts with a famous rapper from Long Beach.

— Initials: M.S.
