#Theranos #ElizabethHolmes #Prison
The woman reading the news is going to jail for pushing fake news.
How many people has Hillary Clinton murdered, the Clinton body count!? How about Nancy Pelosi insider trading? When do they go to jail?
Unless she’s in isolation I bet she’s dead within a year
Not likely. She will go to minimum security. She will not be housed with violent offenders.
The judge should have given her 50 years behind bars.
Yall dont ever get tired of nonBlacks getin passes when they commit crimes. So much darn sympathy for their families. They just lock us up and demonize us. Sad but amerikkka
They better give that bankman fried guy serious jail time.
Textbook case on White Privilege.
She needs to be in prison!!!!
Imo, she deserved longer.
She won’t do half of that time.
If she was Blk she would have gotten 50 years. Complexion for the Protection!
if she is so ” Brilliant ” … 11 years is plenty of time to engineer an Edison that actually works… but chances are she will be out on parole in short order…
She better do real time … she needs to go down ..hard time!!!!
You can’t steal from rich people and get away from it.
I’m wondering if she’s going to side with the 🔵 crips or the bloods ♥️ when she gets to prison
#FreeLiLlizhomie ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Who would marry this woman and have two kids with her as she is on trial? Sociopath! Poor kids being used as her evil pawns
It did work. But like anything, it requires perfection and time to make any hard-tech work. The problem was not the Technology – not working at the time, but the lying about it to get money and risking patients health. It is extremely important to not lie about your data when presenting to investors. More, always make them extremely clear that it might not work out and tell them about every risk you can think of and make it written and signed by all parties.
Let’s be real, if she hadn’t cheated high profile investors, nothing would have happened to her. Look at all the people who ripped off the working class who are walking around free.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the World,these long sentences don’t make any sense.
She deserves every minute of 11 years, but she’ll get less time! Her money should be taken away to pay for real health science!
She stole from rich people and she’s female. She’s toast. Evil men will still get no time for their crimes……..
Elizabeth Holmes put thousands of people lives at risk with medical equipment she knew did not work. All she cared about was her. Enjoy prison you sick ‘woman’.
Hey Corey Bush…..her being in jail will make the world a better place, so your wish has been granted.
America gave the funding for this through most honest people that pay taxes, along with many atrocities, cheating, lying, racism, killing, raping , destroying school system and kids through illegal drugs, illegal sale of weapon’s, illegal gambling and cheating , prostitution of children younger than 12 . ELDIN DINO CITAK knows Everything ALL You CRIMINALS DO SINCE 1992 . I AM ALWAYS BEHIND YOU. ALWAYS. NEVER BE SCARED . DO YOU HEAR THE
😊😊😊
She should be in prison far longer. She is NOT selfless or loving, and I fear for her children.
Imagine how her kids are going to feel, when they grow up and realize that she only had them to avoid jail.
I expect her kids will be ok. Who are we to judge how she will do as a parent? Besides, they also have a father.
@GH1618 Who are we to judge? It seems clear that she’s a sociopath, and there’s something very weird about her marriage. Her husband is almost ten years her junior, and by all accounts, under her thumb.
I’d bet that either her kids will become sociopaths in their turn, or be psychologically damaged in some other way.
The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I am surprised. Most rich people get away with screwing over people.
Just look at all the people at Twitter fired before Christmas. It’s like rich republicans think it’s a good thing to fire people before a religious holiday, while pushing religion.
Do the rich read the Bible backwards?
She pulled a amber heard with that baby 😂 unreal.
Yet Trump has done much worse. And still no indictments for him.
No, you just have been brainwashed to believe that.
She deserves it. She knew exactly what she was doing every step of the way. I wish our government would get held to this standard. Fraudulent people like this need to be held accountable so that they never can take advantage of people again. All this time she never had children and now she thought having babies would keep her out of prison. SMH sickening. 🎯⚖️🎯
.
Shoulda thrown away the key..
Go to jail. Go directly to jail. She knew good and full well what she was doing was wrong. Goodbye for awhile. 🤨👍
Please tell me the next man that gets sentenced the same way.
Why are defending a compulsive liar! are they stupid? a liar is a liar and should you fall for this then shame on you, imprison her for life.
Guessed she wasn’t privileged enough to avoid prison time!
How did she get ahead of Trump?
🤣🤣
Democrats finally being held accountable for their actions.
I have no idea what her party affiliation is. She strikes me as more of a Libertarian.
She’ll be out in 3 years – 5 tops.
Looks like that sympathy pregnancy didnt pan out for the rich white fraudsters. Having that baby in the fed pen builds its character.
11 years? 😂
So, who is nextone? Hunter Biden? Nancy Pelosi? And so on! When will come their time?
Pelosi? For what? Are you accusing her of a crime? Would you do that under your actual name? I doubt it.
@GH1618 Baby, get lost!👽
Oh no but shes a female , females should not be prosecuted , men are the bad ones 😂😂
As part of her defense she tried to throw her male partner under the bus, to save her own skin.
I bet the Indian guy gets longer for simply being a man. The justice system is broken, men get 70% longer than woman for the same crime
She should have got 20 years. If she was a man she would have. Total joke
🤣🤣🤣
Neva heard of her
Enjoy all the ham sandwiches you can eat over the next eleven years, sweetheart! >……………………….:)
Don’t feel bad for her at all. She lied about health related technology while making millions off the lie, and knowing that.
I’m happy beyond words about this. It’s the only way to convince scammers that hard time in prison awaits them.
She went from a Con to a Mooch…not one effort was made by her after she failed to find any type of employment. One attorney made that point and would have had a heavier weight to the judge if she had tried to become a regular citizen….Instead she tied her rope to her rich boyfriend (he should be extremely cautious)…she has a plan. She never once apologized to the medical victims who had dangerous results from her machines.
Grifter like Musk/Trump
She was so confident she would not be jailed. She remarked they would never lock her up because she had a pretty face.
Steve Jobs WANNABE!
Holmes got 11 years for Lying… Trump did a lot more Lying and a Failed Coupe…Hang Trump. Trump, you’re sooooooooooooooo Focking Screwed. Jack ‘Reacher’ is coming for you…This is Freaking Awesome. My wish came true…Trump in Prison 2024 and Elon Musk (focking Nazi) losing 40 Billion Dollars on Twitter…What a Dumb FOCK!!! Holy Shiet! You’re Focking Stupid. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
EH is shameless. Getting pregnant didn’t work. Why wait?
#1, Glad a modicum of justice was served. #2. That first pregnancy maybe she was in total denial she’s be found guilty. But this one? As a mother, to risk putting your child in the position of being a newborn/growing up w/o a mother, thus missing that nurturing then experiencing the pain, loss, loneliness, & hole in your heart that will take a lifetime to heal – you just would take ALL precautions to ensure it does NOT happen. The fact that it DID happen – again – says far more than her words in court about who she truly (still) is. She might be a high-functioning sociopath, honestly. They know how to charm people, the right words to say in the right situations, but they don’t FEEL in terms of emotions and a true, ethical CONSCIENCE. On paper they might know it’s wrong to hurt their children (& the rest of the world she wronged), but deep down they don’t truly care.
The fact that she is pregnant & also a white collar worker Is the reason she’s only getting 11 years anyone else would’ve gotten 20+ years
11 years means 11 months in real jail time for the rich.
Look at Bill Cosby and Martha Stewart.
Bill Cosby got off on a legal technicality. That may not work for Holmes. Stewart was a minor offender compared to Holmes.
She did not care about ruining other people’s lives why should we care about her situation now.? She deserves everything she’s got coming her way and more
If she’s so brilliant then why is she going to prison.
She isn’t, but most people are not brilliant. She should get over it and just learn to be a decent person.
How does she manage to get these rich guys. Are guys dumb?
Shes going to get a Presidential Pardon 2 minutes before he leaves office. Mark my words
*She became a celebrity, got hundreds of millions of dollars, but her company could never proved it could do what it purported to do! Shouldn’t the “celebrity” have come AFTER her product was already in use?!*

I covered this story in this week’s episode of Making Fun of the News.
She ‘did not mean for this to happen’…Uh, really. BTW In photos she often has that same glassy stare as I sometimes notice w/ Mark Zuckerberg.
It’s has nothing to do with kids, it she took a lot of money from people on a lie and they’re never going to get it back and that’s something to think about and she may get out of prison on good behavior I don’t know if there’s anything against that or not but if she does she might even be out there in a couple years and that’s not really fair to all the people that lost tons of money millions. As much as she took she only had to pay like $400000 or something what I read and that’s not very much for taking millions tens of millions. I would like to know where all that money is now is she still got some of it maybe.
Dang, I wanted to see her handcuffed and hauled away. I never realized prison sentences could be scheduled.
Hahah there goes her life 🤣
Some people in American society are immune from law or are given slaps on the wrist when the same deference would not be given to certain members of American society.
This lady robbed millions and received less time than requested plus she gets to enjoy BuyBuyBaby and baby bonding time before she goes to prison. Why not treat her like the other criminals in the criminal justice system?
Does federal time get good time reduction in sentence or does she have to do the full 11 years?
In federal court you will have to serve 85% of your sentence if convicted of federal charges.
@Peter That works for me😎
@peter primes Same 😁
take it easy it’s not like she made a fake college or defrauded a kids cancer charity,,,,…..
Why use blood when Ancestry offor you health analysis for the future with just a little bit of saliva. So maybe she was onto something do you think
She appears to have strong psychopathic traits–exploitative, manipulative, dishonest, narcissistic, unremorseful, callous. Psychopathic traits are often heritable, some more than others. These traits are part of our species, she just happens to have gotten more of them than 99% of people. She could not have accomplished this fraud alone–she was aided by hundreds of people. She excelled at finding opportunities for deceit and finding weaknesses in others that allowed her to induce complicity. The evidence does not support that such traits in adults can be significantly improved. The real question may be, how can we minimize our vulnerability to being the minions of people with strong psychopathic traits?
Yet there are people in prison with far longer sentences, that did way less than she did. Imagine what her sentence would have been if she wasn’t white, or was a man….
Her being locked up makes the world a better place
Did she get money for the Hulu show?
A con from the get go. Did they not realize one day it would be found out?
Spending 11 years in prison will make this world a better place. Greed kills.
Psycho
SBF is next!!
O what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
When you see an Indian guy is involved in a startup, you know its a fraud
Only some psychopath would become pregnant when facing the possibility of such a sentence.
