Not fair for Shkreli, but he brought it upon himself. He made such a spectacle of his situation that prosecutors and judges had to hit him hard. They would have been highly criticised otherwise. Also, Holmes had so many high power people associated with the company that the media would have had a field day reporting on that and it would have been highly embarrassing for them. I'm sure they all helped her get the best deal. My view is that they both broke the law so they should have gotten time. Lesson learned, if you get in trouble with the law don't poke the bear.
