...working with Human Nature director Michel Gondry, Kaufman wonders whether one person can be true to another, whatever obstacles pile up. On Valentine's Day 2004, Joel Barish (a wonderfully forlorn Jim Carrey) decides to skip work and--who knows why--take a train to Montauk on the frosty tip of Long Island. There he is accosted by free-spirited Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet, ornery and seductive). She lures mopey Joel into an affair, which proves to have as many abrasive spots as soft ones. Truth to tell, they're a wildly ill-suited pair. But, hey, bitter with...
...heart of the case was a stock tip that, the government alleged, allowed Stewart, once worth $1 billion, to net a measly $45,000.

...government's case was substantially assisted by the testimony of Douglas Faneuil, former assistant to Bacanovic, who testified that his boss had ordered him to share with Stewart the insider tip on Waskal's intentions. Stewart was convicted of lying to officials from the SEC, FBI and federal prosecutors when she told them she and Bacanovic had previously arranged an automatic sell order if the stock price fell below $60; and also of lying in her claim to SEC, FBI investigators and federal prosecutors when she claimed she did not recall being told of Waksal's planned stock sale...
