If I'm ever convicted of large-scale fraud / sociopathic crimes, I'd definitely like Amy to write a story about me.
> .. in 2017. They did not anticipate that she would be indicted. They did not anticipate that she would be sentenced to 11 years.
John Carreyrou's story broken in October 2015, and his investigations the next few years resulted in his book Bad Blood being released in 2018.
I expect everyone that read his original story, or any of his and other reporters' subsequent investigations, would have just naturally assumed indictment, conviction, and sentencing were inevitable - assuming some semblance of justice was involved.
And while we were finding out some of the awful truths, Elizabeth was of course already intimately aware of all of them.
So that claim is just ludicrous.
The author touches on the problem of how to trust someone who by all accounts is a pathological liar - but doesn't seem to have a good answer.
- soderfoo 3y agoFound it interesting that the author alluded to avoiding incarceration had she accepted a plea deal. I wonder if this has a factual basis or is mere speculation.
