Not that I don't think Elizabeth Holmes deserves this sentence, but when was the last time you heard about an investor get sentenced to a decade in prison for saying they'd make valuable introductions (or whatever) as part of the investment process and then not following through?
- realgeniushere 4y agoThat’s not how sentencing works in this country. The specific crime you were convicted of determines the possible range of sentences. Then judge considers a multitude of factors to determine exact sentence. This includes prior offenses and also all “relevant conduct”, i.e. the totality of your wrongdoing, not just what you were specifically convicted of. Also, not sure what you’re on about re: failing to make introduction. She claimed to have revolutionary blood tests that worked, but they were useless and she knew it. It was blatant lying and fraud to the tune of millions of dollars. Not to mention all the doctors and patients who thought they got accurate test results and relied on them.
