The prevalence of psychopathy is significantly higher among white collar managers than the general population (4% vs. 1% according to one of the few empirical studies https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/bsl.925 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/bsl.925)
Holmes, unlike most nonviolent corporate psychopaths, is only going to jail because she violated one of the only real cardinal rules of late stage capitalism, which is don’t intentionally defraud investors. She’s also one of the few psychopaths dumb enough to publicly and directly admit that she was maintaining a charade of a person who believes that other people and their emotions truly exist.

She replied, almost reflectively, “They’re not playing me. They’re playing a character I created.” Holmes is a textbook psychopath, i.e. "deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy, and poor behavioral controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behavior" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4321752/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4321752/
