Somehow, I don't feel like she received an adequate sentence, given all the harm she has done to patients who had used her blood tests.

[MayMarmaid]

Guess those babies she desperately pooped out didn’t work. Now they’re without a mom for a good chunk of their formative years. How selfish.

[kengreenberg]

Such a total fraud. Delighted to see her in captivity. Anyone know if she had to take a blood test when she checked in with the prison?

[Rheinmeister]

Feel sorry for those 2 kids. They were just a means to what she thought might be a lighter sentence. As someone who comes from a science background, I still for the life of me can't get over the fact that she was, that the regulators/FDA allowed her to get away with this con for as long as she did. There are only so many cells in a drop of blood and the science just isn't there to run dozens of tests off it. Also feel sorry for the patients who bought into this con and were duped by her.

Finally, a scammy thief pays the price. It's much less than she deserves, but at least she will be behind bars a while.

Let this be a lesson for everybody. Don't steal from the rich . it's their job. To steal. From everybody else.

[stevefox]

I hate it when a parent uses their children as a tool to avoid going to prison.
"I can't go to prison. My children need me".
Should have considered that BEFORE you committed the crime.

[timheidel]

Martha Stewart did not do her time here. Martha did her prison time at the women's federal prison in Alderson, West Virginia.

[MrCabimero]

Hold on gang. It's prison "CAMP", so let's be clear she is not in what you and I would consider prison. And it ain't the prison most people of color go to either. The duality of our justice system, one for the rich, one for everyone else- is disgusting.

[nilechunky]

The fact she's smiling while going into prison is disgusting!!! Any non-sociopath would be distraught at the thought of leaving their kids

[Abmotsad]

There must be a glitch in the Matrix. Things like this simply don't happen to people like her.

[XinLi]

She could never be the next Steve Jobs. That honor goes to George Santos who was both the last Steve Jobs and the next Steve Jobs.

[ingridtullos]

Martha Stewart was in Alderson, not Bryan, TX

[twincast]

I'm disturbed by how palpably sorry the reporter feels for Elizabeth Holmes. Thankfully the host provided a sane take, but that's a really low bar.

[dannmarceau]

She's off to "Camp Fluffy."

[ProfessorOfChaos]

if she had only defrauded the poor, she would still be running her schemes and probably even be a billionaire by now.

[michellereyes]

Finally, justice for Ian Gibbons and other people that she has hurt

[elthamtreehugger]

The sentence is far too short, that would only encourage more fraudsters. She will come out living as a multimillionaire in comfort and luxury

[pharoah]

She's smiling now, but after about 2 years in and about 7 more to go, that smile will fade.

[KO-hryb]

A non elite person would have to go to a regular prison immediately. This narcissist is with Billy for one reason and one reason only 😒
