FYI, that wasn’t the company, that was Martha Stewart. And she didn’t get charged or convicted for insider trading, she got convicted for lying to the Feds.

Nortel Networks - Stock market crash and burn. (Relevant as a disaster for many of us.)
At its height, Nortel accounted for more than a third of the total valuation of all the companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), employing 94,500 worldwide, with 25,900 in Canada alone.[28] Nortel’s market capitalization fell from C$398 billion in September 2000 to less than C$5 billion in August 2002, as Nortel’s stock price plunged from C$124 to C$0.47. When Nortel’s stock crashed, it took with it a wide swath of Canadian investors and pension funds and left 60,000 Nortel employees unemployed.
