Ironic, considering Holme's father was VP at Enron...

  I mean, it’s absolutely unfair to judge someone because of who their parents are. At the same time, it’s a bit amazing that people unquestioningly trusted the daughter of someone connected to a major fraud, and then she committed a major fraud.

  Is that irony? I think irony would be if he was at the FEC (or perhaps not given some decisions by them). This seems more like fraud runs in the family, which doesn't seem that uncommon (although maybe that's a variation of survivor bias in reporting?) That said I wasn't aware of the ENRON link. It's so nice to see that the VPs from Enron were still able to afford Stanford, living costs while in a startup, etc. I'm sure that similar was true for regular people as well right? /s

    "Ironic" is often used to mean "coincidental" these days. It seems few know what irony truly is.

      I blame Alannis Morisette (or however it’s spelled)
