Idiocracy
Lets hope Sam Bankman-Fried gets at least that.
She’s not going until April, Nicola guy is enjoying life. Bankman is relaxing in the Bahamas – no one is doing real jail time . They might even get a bonus.
Kill scammers
Sadly old man used her for fun and now she is in Jail
No sadly she used old men for fun and now thankfully she’s in jail.
@J W She’s not going to jail until April next year.
@Marietta a distinction without a difference
What kind of psycho is facing 20 and gets pregers.
A calculating and manipulative one
The one that will do everything to not go to jail. I don’t believe it until I see it.
She got pregnant after she was arrested facing 20 years and now she’s pregnant again and has to have a baby in prison she’s not only irresponsible with people’s money she’s a responsible with the lies of her children how disgusting have two kids knowing your face in 20 years in prison she must not have good lawyers for them not to tell her to get on birth control because you’re going to jail millions of dollars from all these high ranking people and she thinks that she’s going to get home confinement yeah right they don’t even give drug dealers home confinement and they don’t take money from millionaires
@Sara Brant she doesn’t have to show up until April – just fyi
Whats pregars?
100% grade A sociopath. Her only regret is getting caught, she has ZERO remorse.
100 bucks says she’ll respond to her 11-year sentence with the same fake deep voice.
Can’t believe anyone would participate in any of this but I think the fact that the men were older says a lot. They were probably targeted for that reason. She can be attractive in some pictures but not enough to be losing your mind over. But if you’re 80+…
@Kimberly G Funny, but that was also the theory of a Stanford professor. She said that white men 80+ tend to have brains going south when it comes to attractive young women.
@Marietta if you look at the board members that should be convincing enough. I wouldn’t surprised if her family along with her husbands’s family stop paying her legal bills and have them come pick her up already. She’s really crazy and I wouldn’t be anywhere near a psycho like that. Tyler Schultz said he slept with a knife under his pillow at one point. Another scientist committed suicide.
Is it true her father was an Enron Exec?
Bye felicia
Don’t pick up the soap
Ur dumb 😭
That only works for men dumdum
Sam Bankman Fried of FTX will be joining her in jail.
I bet her deep fake male accent is now long gone 😂
Would love to see how she chirps in prison like a girly girl 😉
They asked for 18 months house arrest???😱😱🤢🤢🤢The absolute entitlement of it all.
I thought white women are perfect. Well, at least that is what the MSM wants us to believe. Holmes has proven otherwise.
The families were probably trying to spare their own reputation. She’s really crazy and I wouldn’t go anywhere near this psycho.
Kissinger on the board should have been an alarm bell lol
Yet, trump is still walking freely
You got your head on backwards come on clean up your act.
Hillary, too. Walking freely after all the “Russia! Russia! Russia! havoc she caused.
Not for long.
Only 11 years
Jail bird got pricked.
Us court drawings are hilarious 😂
Seriously!! I love that they are still a thing. One of the best parts about trials.
every billionaire in existence:
She going to have her child in prison.
No – she doesn’t have to show up until April – never heard that one before.
@Michael H that’s called privilege.
@BeNatural privilege is when they take you around tsa directly to the airplane – this corruption
Wrong she’ll have 3 months after child’s birth to bond with her new baby then she gets sentenced to prison
Bad girl.
Interesting how swiftly justice is served when one f**ks with Big Money.
It’s amazing, the power of a woman’s good looks in a courtroom.
@Karen Vs. Becky she’s HOT!!!
@Rose Jr 🌺 You need to get out of the house more.
She looks like mark zuckerburg😂
@sasha moore Yes!
“It’s amazing, the power of a woman’s good looks. Everywhere.”
She will not spend a day in jail. Until April she has plenty of time to fight this.
She has a small child after being charged with a crime where you’re facing 20 years and then you have the nerve to get pregnant again? Now you got to have a baby in prison! She is so irresponsible not only with people’s money but with the lives of those children
she did it as a strategy to get sympathy.
@TEDDY MOON Was she Herschel Walker’s girlfriend? She intentionally got pregnant.
Desperation to stay out of prison. I wouldn’t be surprised if her family just wants her gone now. People make it seem like 11.3 years is no big deal. Well it is. Maybe she won’t make it out. Anything could happen there. They really thought her looks would save her. She’s really not all that. It’s all so delusional. But thats the way the whole fraud happened so, why not…if you’re an 80+ year old guy and ain’t getting any play…I guess I can see it. She had private meetings with these people. Her chance to perhaps really do something in this world…wow. Talk about blowing it.
Crazzzzy
11 years 3 months will only encourage other sociopaths and psychopaths who are dying to be CEOs to do whatever they please and say: ‘I had the best intentions at heart but couldn’t deliver what I promised.I didn’t cheat, I simply failed.”
She is going to a much more lenient prison anyhow and she also has the chance of getting out after serving only 5 years.
I don’t think it will encourage people. I think this sentence would rather discourage them. And she even got a “soft” sentence. They could have come for her with a vengeance like never before
In the federal system, the guilty must serve at least 90% of their sentence.
@Travel Crawl stupid
Might GAF now eh?
so how many workers did Quatar kill while building stadium? why so quiet fascist country?
Her lawyers must have been very good
The judge even ruled in her favor for the sentence to come out to 11 and not 15 or longer, what a joke!
Mark Zuckerberg next pls
Calling Murican “justice” system is a joke is mellow tbh.
White woman no cry, yah, white woman no cry.
I remember when she used to say, Theranos would help you today.
White woman no cry, yah, white woman no cry.
How insane do you have to be, to get pregnant when you know you are on trial and going to be sent to jail… the woman is a total psychopath without a conscience.
She won’t begin serving her sentence until late April, until then she’ll be living in her $10M mansion on a thousand acre spread in SoCal. And of course her lawyers are working on an appeal.
@IndigoStarAz SERIOUSLY??
dumb biden will pardon her and saudi arabia MBS
Very good 👍
The audacity of this woman is very fucken impressive!.. I bet those kids are part of another evil plan..
So where the money went..?.. Surely for her retirement in a tropical inhabitant island!!!
🙂Where da party at?!🙃
Don’t take money from influential and rich investors if you know you’re about to develop a concept you can’t develop into a tangible concept or product. She messed with the wrong WRONG people .
That was her only way to get some money . She never tried to get a penny from institutional investors (hedge funds, private banking etc…) because she knew they would go through everything and discover it was a complete scam before investing a single dollar .
Only 11 years!! Now imagine if that was black or Hispanic guy. If I am white, I will be thinking all kinds of financial and medical crimes coz 11 years is a pat on the back.
You cannot count on any particular sentence. Maybe you will be sentenced like Madoff.
i bet she is already learning karate from gangsters
Good…
Let her be an example to other narcissist CEO’s
Scam artists*
She will come down with some mystery illness and be hospitalized 2 weeks before shes supposed to report. Watch….
She was devastated when she was caught
As an antinatalist the fact that she got pregnant to try to gain sympathy from the jury is simply unforgivable. What a psycho.
If she stole from poor people, she would’ve gotten away but she stole from the rich people.
She did steal from poor people. Those who used her DIY blood test machine in Walgreen’s and elsewhere paid for fake diagnosis. They were ordinary people, not rich investors.
@Marietta You are right but she did steal lots of money from powerful investments. That is what made her count accountable for fraud. I saw so many people never got any punishments just stealing from ordinary people and that is not fair.
She supposed to get life imprisonment….
No.😊
Good place for her ..now Trump is next
She’ll do a few months of that sentence
What basically I see his her mom acts like she’s not at fault at all she just got caught arrogant people.
Whole class of people. The entire situation shows a complete lack of believe. They must be out of ideas if they turned to her to save them. Same goes for the crypto guy.
Crazy batch
She looks really mentally ill in some of these shots. I wonder if she’s ever been diagnosed with any mental kind of problem. It’s hard to walk around pretending like that for years. Diabolical.
👏🏻
What an evil person she is allowing herself to get pregnant knowing that there is a great possibility that she will be jailed. I guess that she hoped that the pregnancy would stall her sentencing…no consideration for anyone but herself
Batshit crazy
Getting my citizenship soon, America does not play with fraud, even our president could go to prison. Let’s talk about kenya where prison is only for the poor
I’m an immigrant to the USA as well. It’s a good place, not perfect, but it’s a place where you can make something of yourself and have a family. For all its imperfections, I love it. Welcome fellow citizen and good luck
lol those sketches are straight from Idiocracy
Well just think about who was also endorsing her,is not that greedy people?You would think that those were Smart people. The love of money Will bring anyone down
They will all find out how crazy she really is.
Wonder how much she stashed away in the Cayman’s?
She got pregnant while awaiting her court case and sentence? Cunning, she needs 20.
If it was a man, he would have got harder penalties/sentencing
Money bought her time. What’s new!
Now she can hobnob with prostitutes, criminals, crooks and the derelicts of society
She will go to a better class of prison.
EXCELLENT!
How come Kissinger and Schultz get no punishment and even get to keep their mis gotten gains?
They didn’t make any money on this.
They just gave her good articles because it is popular to praise women no mater what… They didn’t investigate anything. She ended up being a FRAUD.
It is why America is leading the world. its institutions are very strong if it were my country she would have been saved by politicians in power ..strong institutions make a country great
The first hint should’ve been that she was Caucasian and they like the Chinese never invented anything. Don’t posses the mental intelligence or brilliance to do so. When I first heard of that technology I said to myself , “that’s a lie”. 😅
11 years is harsh
hopefully,we’ ll hv conviction of same social status in the phils.
Send Bitcoin fraudsters to jail right now. Did the “predatory loans” for college defraud Americans? Send those predators to jail right now
They don’t even give killers rapest and drug dealers these kind of sentences anymore sad world
What about Darrell Brooks? Six life sentences, plus an additiomal 1,067 years. “Anymore,” you say?
BYEEEEEEEEEE felicia
Only 11 years?
Despicable woman
Bad things always follow Kissinger. He’s a virus
Amazing how narcissistic personality disorder is becoming worldwide spread and among all characters and professions.
Where is her boy friend he was a con man too?
He has been convicted and will be sentenced soon.
The judge says Holmes is “brilliant?” Seriously?
She has a way with old men.
It’s unfair on her as the bigger fraud elon musk is walking free and she has to do jail time.
Wow I’ve been following this case for so long. Finally a sentencing. What a crazy saga
She def got pregnant in hopes to get sympathy
At least for scamming Henry Kissinger she should get a medal.
In all my watching of this case I have never seen someone point out the obvious…she chose her board and investors very carefully…who would be more afraid of death than old men and billionaires 🤷🏾 She is nothing more than a malignant narcissist..the reason we all stare is that rather like the reptile exhibit in the zoo they are fascinating in their cloaks of death
Unbelievable
She will come out in 4 years…
I have to admit I admire Holmes for being able to dupe government investors politicians with her scam a cunning woman for sure!
Corruption rules America, she will be out in three years and she has over 12 million $$$ stashed in Cayman and Swiss banks earning interest! She will lay low when she is released on parol and then disappear with all that ca$h to survive on.
She’s almost as good a crook as Biden!!
How would you know how much money she has and where?
She should pay it all back and not get an early parole. She isn’t very clever just very devious and evil.
People think white women are angels lol
Hopefully the sentence will survive her appeals.
