Former inmate describes Elizabeth Holmes’ new life behind bars | CUOMO

Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes reported to prison Tuesday to begin serving her 11-year jail sentence after she was convicted of fraud and conspiracy for swindling investors of hundreds of millions of dollars and lying about her biotech company’s technology. What will her new life look behind bars, and what will her sentence mean for her two children younger than 2? Lynn Espejo, who served time at the same prison from 2018-2020, joins “CUOMO” to discuss.

Unfortunately her children are the ones who will suffer the most, not having their mother with them for a significant part of their lives is heartbreaking. Shame that she did this to keep out of prison but it did not work. Also, her husband now has to wait a decade for her, I don’t see that happening. She is a narcissistic manipulator who ruins the lives of everyone she meets….just ask Sunny Balwani.

It’s going to be w WORSE CASE SCENARIO, especially for someone who’s used to have servants, eat the most expensive food you could possibly imagine, having their own chef, personal assistant, nanny housekeeper and been used to living in a multi million dollar estate 0:01 .
So yeah, she’s going to hate every minute of it despite what everyone thinks .
The worse part is been away from her kids and I relish the fact that she’s imprisoned as she planned those kids to be used for a more liniment / possible home arrest sentence which backfired big time.
No sympathy here, she brought this on herself.

It means those children will grow up knowing they were born as a get out of jail free card🤷🏼‍♀️

[ricobuttonpusher]

Her kids will figure out one day that she had them to try to avoid going to prison

[JuliePlott]

Rich people get to go to a much better jail.

[cleobalvin]

She should have gone to jail for life!! I hope she never see her kids. She is the biggest con-artist. It took so long finally she's in jail. An employee killed themselves working under her. He couldn't take the lies and everything he did for her.

[nickisnyder]

Both kids conceived AFTER she was convicted. So she chose to have kids at a time when she knew she was going to prison.

[Medmann]

A cell with no door & nice people to be around with, sounds like a country club.

[jackb]

That’s not a prison, that’s a country club.

[marnesmum]

Why would you choose to have children when you are going to prison for a significant period of that childs life?

[ronniemead]

I dont think billy is going to be happy taking his kids to visit his wife in prison. He may do it for a week or two, but not for the long haul, and I cant say I blame him.

[minniemaklingham]

How much you want to bet that she doesn’t even serve half of that of that 11 year sentence.

[cleobalvin]

I hope she fights with someone there so she gets more time in prison

[redbunnytail]

Um. Why cut this woman off in mid sentence? Takes 10 seconds to let her finish what she has to say. Chris says, 'Thank You, ' which I'm sure he did, and NewsNation people feel cleaner, throughout the day.

[davejones]

Cut the interview short at the best time

[tranquility]

Federal prisons require 85% of the term to be served. 15% remains for points for good behavior. Hopefully she will meet and get to understand the real world problems people face. I do think the male tech CEOs who have also have wreaked havoc like Adam Neumann who drove WeWork into the ground should face investigation instead of walking about as if nothing happened

[honey-feeney]

I’m glad to Chris is back on the air. He has a good interviewing style .

[nybsbfan]

Don't cut the speaker off the end. Rude!

[stoundingresults]

Loving my freedom outside of the big house. Don't do the crime if you can't do the Time.

Seriously, Elizabeth Holmes is in prison for fraud, and defrauding many…out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And the Victims of her Actions have children Too…
