Wonder how much time she'll get. From multi-billionaire to prison. Such a fall
OT: Elizabeth Holmes guilty

She was never a billionaire. Forbes declared her a billionaire based on the $9 billion valuation of Theranos, but that valuation (like all valuations) was simply a speculative paper exercise. At its peak in 2014, Theranos had received $400 million in venture capital, right before the bottom dropped out.
I wonder how much time she'll get, and I wonder how much money she was able to squirrel away.
feel like she'll still get a bunch of years, but could have been alot worse for her. Only guilty on 4 of 11/12 charges.
I'd sentence her to work a busy gas station convenience store for 5 years... and live in a garden apartment.
She married a multi-millionaire in Billy Evans he's heir to the family's hotel chain. He's the one funding her defense she was penniless till the marriage. They also just had a kid together thus why the original trial date was delayed.
She's a cold hearted *****, I put nothing past her. How many people got bad test results and it resulted in serious outcomes do to her trying to protect her kingdom? Wouldn't surprise me one bit if she's using Evans simply for his money and had the pregnancy to draw sympathy from jurors.

Knew the voice was fake the first time I heard it which made me speculate what else she was lying about.
Her and that guy on Opra a few years ago I pegged both as phonies as soon as I saw and heard them.

They said she never sold any of her personal stock. So she got nothing out of it. Other then salary she paid herself. M
She did marry a billionaire or something recently.
Too good to be true. Though can you imagine if that breadbox innovation had been for real? It’d be revolutionary for patient care.
18 months at federal prison out in 9. Her lawyer will ask for home confinement due to COVID.
She certainly deserves it.
Another waste, connected to Joe Biden who spoke highly of her. Plenty of videos of this.

In his defense, he probably has no idea who she is…
That's how it works for all those people, they take out loans against their stock holdings. No one actually has hundreds of millions or billions in cash besides maybe drug lords.
All those people? And while they may not hold billions in cash or a bank account, they may hold bonds or dividend paying stocks like Microsoft and Apple and live off the dividends. Last I checked, their valuation was somewhat less speculative then Theranos. There's even the possibility that they may be still working for a living.
Some may work but they are paid in all stock like Elon Musk. These "billionaires" are all on paper based on a stock price. Many financially illiterate people actually think Elon Musk and others like them have billions of dollars in cash.
Elon Musk is "the richest man in the world" today but if the Tesla stock crashed tomorrow he would be broke just like Holmes unless he sold SpaceX.
By my very rough estimate he sold about $1 billion more Tesla stock than he needed to exercise and pay the taxes on his option exercises, so I don't think so.
I doubt she gets any jail time, she might have to stay at home for 6 months and pay a big fine. Her boyfriend she used to boost her company, and her husband she married for his wealth. She is very calculating.
I dont know she made a lot of rich people look like idiots that is usually when people sit in prison.
She obviously is more intelligent and conniving than any of the career scum bags working in government which is saying a lot.
11.25 yrs. is a light sentence. I think each count could have resulted in 20 yrs. each. I wonder and have no idea, can they now go after her husband's inheritance on the restitution and fine part?
Not unless he was involved with the business. Nor should they have that ability.
Agree, but still surprised.
A bigger question is what rich guy would want her? She sounds like a dude and is clearly a felon. Weird choice.
Agreed. But given her stupidity with her business, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that she wasn’t careful to keep a strict separation of business and personal finances. In which case, they could go after her personal finances, and her husband‘s if they are still married.
LMAO…. Criminal TRump has many more skeletons in his dirty business closet .
As a young, blonde, STEM gal who studied at a prestigious university, she fit one of the superficial narratives that bestows instant sanctification from the hive mind. People desperately wanted her to be some estrogenic avatar rescuing humanity. That's a reason they punished her - she made the hivers look bad.
Her pops Christian Rasmus Holmes IV, was a vice president at Enron

Why? People lost a lot of money, some who couldn't afford to, and people received serious misdiagnoses from her fraudulent product. Not sure where the witch hunt comes in.
Why do some people try to bring Trump into almost every conversation? Investigations for the past 6 years have proven nothing. I'm actually looking forward to see the investigations into the "Big guy".
