Ex-Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to prison

A federal judge on Friday sentenced disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes to more than 11 years in prison for duping investors in the failed startup that promised to revolutionize blood testing but instead made her a symbol of Silicon Valley's culture of audacious self-promotion.

Imagine telling your kids one day. ‘I only had you to avoid jail’.

[sheilafinley]

11 years? That’s a slap on the wrist. Report April 27? Why not immediately?

what sort of person gives birth to two babies when she's facing the possibility of a 20-year prison sentence? No woman who genuinely cared about her children would do that.

[beanmom]

If she's worried about mothers being sent to prison, she could have used her money to do something. What she really means is she's a privileged mother

[kevinwake]

sentenced to 11 years, BUT NOT going to prison until April NEXT YEAR. THOUGHT AMERICA HAS MOTHER AND BABY UNITS IN SOME PRISONS.

Had the baby so the judge could have sympathy on her soul. He was going to have none of that.

Wasn't this lady the poster child for the modern feminist. Lol

Remember they were flaunting over her trying to compare her to Steve Jobs lol

It was like that time a group of women built a bridge the feminists couldn't wait to congratulate themselves on what an achievement it was that no man was involved in the design of the bridge and the next day it fell down lol

That would be agony having a baby knowing in 5 months time you be taken to prison for 11 years...
Why do she have children knowing this..

[solukhumbu]

what a strong psychopathic tendency, strong enough to override maternal instincts. she had 2 babies back to back during her trials which extended and delayed the case and pushes for a sympathy decision using her kids, knowing fully well it was a 50/50 that her newborn babies wud have a motherless childhood.

What ? But she is white and blonde !!!

Ruja Ignatova, Anna Sorokin and now Elizabeth Holmes.
I wonder if they’re related?
At least the documentary and film makers will be happy…

[jimbobbyrnes]

just another example of the rich and famous getting less jail time in America.

Edit; Living the LIFE of luxury, in the Bahamas.

I don't get this story at all. Seems to me that there is a lot more to this story than what the media is telling us. I think a lot of rich investors made sure she got sentenced harshly and making sure she is not being treated fairly.

In UK, it's never a full 11 years. Inmates, serve half that time. I reckon her fate will be the same.

Remember, she's going to s nice cozy FEDERAL "Prison". It will be a Glorified Motel Room with Great Meals, WSJ Newspaper, Color TV and MINIMAL Security.

[halopines]

She's surrenders October 2023!??? Why? Only Elizabeth would plan children waiting jail time smh

[cmartinez]

Now if trump was to soon follow, then balance will be brought into the universe.

[Souls_Fooddie]

Sorry my crush to see you go! I'll wait until the doomsday 🌹❣️🤩

[johngunning]

I am not saying she shouldn't face consequences, but 11 years for a first time, nonviolent offender seems way too harsh.
