Neumann was a complete conman, and he's the smarter one because he got away with a lot of money , while Holmes is a psychopath who hopefully will end up with a long prison sentence.
Of course! She will serve no prison time, and for the rest of her life remain richer than any of us are here on HN. Furthermore, she will go on to found other companies and have no trouble funding them. I could even see a successful political future with her prestigious contacts in government. Easiest predictions I’ve ever made.
Not now, she's already blaming that little guy who followed her around like a puppy dog. That whole "woke" thing will work to her advantage.
I predict a no federal jail, or a few months, like a Martha Stewart. She will write her bio.
She will be on the talk circuit the minute the trial is over, and talk about being a victim.
I don't think she will wear the black turtleneck ever.
My wish is they start to fining white collar criminals much more, especially the wealthy ones. Federal prison time for wealthy criminals seems like a vacation. Get them where they worship---their money. Every time I hear the fine, I cringe. Is that all? I would like to see all societal fees/fines tied to assets. She shouldn't feel able to capitalize on the crime either.
Then again I have never understood the logic of making a poor man pay the same fine, as the poor man.
>That whole "woke" thing will work to her advantage.
I wouldn't be so sure. That whole "woke" thing is turning on white women and gay men rather quickly. Granted it's mostly middle-aged white women up to now, but Elizabeth Holmes has become a symbol of some excesses that are unpopular all over.
> Holmes is a psychopath who hopefully will end up with a long prison sentence.
This is an incredibly vile thing to wish upon anyone.
I hope you take some time to reflect what a long prison sentence actually implies in the US and consider whether or not that’s actually an appropriate punishment for what only amounts to a financial crime.
Theranos was rife with bullying and threats, and it affected lives of patients because of the false tests. Messing around with tests is not a joke, lives are at sake.
