It truly is a sight for sore eyes how long it's taking to jail the female version of Bernie Madoff. I get that it was white collar but c'mon. Anybody else and they'd see 5-10 years in less than a year.
- gogopuppygogo 5y agoBernie Madoff ran a ponzi. He paid returns with other investor monies. Holmes ran a pure fraud. She put lives at risk with her tests. Potentially, peopled died. She deserves an extremely long and punitive jail sentence.
- skuhn 5y agoPeople also died from circumstances created by Madoff's fraud, including one of his sons.
- mannykannot 5y agoI would not put it past Holmes to raise this point as a mitigating factor.
- hnskrall 5y agoDoubt she will see a day in prison.
- vkou 5y agoIt's a lot harder to jail someone for lying about how they are managing a company, and for running a medical lab poorly, than it is for running a ponzi scheme. Intent matters quite a bit in the former, but not very much in the latter.

- IG_Semmelweiss 5y agoI'd almost argue its a net benefit to the world if it wasnt for the fraudulent test results thay real people thought they could rely on. Any moneys taken from a kissinger "merchant of chaos" types, should be celebrated.
- H8crilA 5y agoYou're right, but an FYI: Madoff took the plea, that's why it was so fast in his case (well, it took fucking forever to "uncover" but then was really fast).
