STORYLINE:
Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is in custody at the Texas prison where she will spend the next 11 years serving her sentence for overseeing an infamous blood-testing hoax, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Holmes entered the minimum-security, federal women’s prison camp located in Bryan, Texas, on Tuesday. The arrival comes more than a year after a jury convicted Holmes on four felony counts of fraud and conspiracy in January 2022. She was sentenced to prison time in November.

As she begins her sentence, Holmes will be leaving behind two young children — a son born in July 2021 and a 3-month old daughter.

Who has children *right* before starting a prison term, presumably on the off-chance that being a new mom might knock some years off your term or even help you sidestep prison entirely … when obviously the consequences in the immediate term are leaving behind a toddler and an infant for a decade, and the consequences in the long term — and for the rest of your life — are having to deal with two kids you don’t know, who don’t know you, and who by that point may have figured out they were only ever bargaining chips??

Good. Now the nation can move on from this lady. She had so many opportunities to be someone. She got greedy and reckless. Too bad. So sad.

[DoomSlayer-owjq]

She even duped the dude she’s with right now.

[vail]

Bet she stacked millions offshore….11 years at 20 million a year?

Elizabeth Holms: "I defrauded more billions from investors than any other female"
Alissa Heinerscheid: "Hold my Bud Light".

[glimpsesofmylife]

A lot in our government need to take that walk as well.

[trixiebeldon]

Unfortunate for her kids, and even further proof of how selfish, self-centered and self-serving a woman she is still.
She chose to have children knowing she was possibly facing prison time I imagine it was a calculated move to paint her as a mother, instead of a lying thieving, con artist.
All children deserve good mothers, but not all women are capable of being good mothers. Hopefully they’ll be raised by someone who can put their interests first

[benjammen]

This should be happening to the BLM people

[DoomSlayer-owjq]

I just want to hear her say something. To see if that tone is still present. Somebody out there.

[hudsondonnell]

There are many more like her that pay dues to the WEF that should be with her.

[kalsimo]

Good . I wish Uber and Lyft CEOs will be next because they’ve been stealing from drivers for so long

[EchoBravo]

She'll be out in a year or two because she pumped out two cubs.

[angelo_giachetti]

Confiscate all her assets from property, stocks and cash to the baby's high chair.
No pardons, no short time.
She does a minimum of 85% .
And while locked up she has to put in work and catch more cases like everyone else. End up with 150 years.

[tonietchison]

I pray she return home a much better individual for her sake and everyone else. Mercy what a mess of up life thrown away.

[pamengland]

Only here to leave my comment with the others. She was given the opportunity of a lifetime of love & marriage & started a family. She definitely did NOT deserve those things. The world was her oyster & she pissed it away when her dream didn’t work out & she still hurt countless people. She is a terrible human that no prison term can correct. Good riddance. O LYMYB now we will have to hear about how rough it is for her family & then when she is released 🤮

[millenium]

She'll be out in 2-3 years for good behavior

[Soknik]

I miss the old voice. Hands down one of the finest Vera De Milo impressions this side of 1995.

[mesoloco]

So this is how they pay back all the investors is they give her 11 years I’m not quite sure I understand, where’s all the Money?

[DarthLesbian]

Good, now make sure she serves the entire sentence and dont let her out early.

[miketexas]

I care more about the dirt under my toenail
