She raised $1.4B based on fraud/lies. Are you saying that shouldn't be paid back?

  It should be paid back if she still had it. But it's questionable whether burdening criminals with debts they can never repay is the best solution. Since the creditors have no chance of getting that money back, it's just an additional punishment. But she already got jail time as a punishment. I think, once you served your time, you should get a chance of a new start, without being forever burdened with debt. Also, I think that bedazzling investors is not the worst thing she did. The worst thing is that she sold patients medical tests that didn't work.

    I'm not sure I agree without knowing more details but I think that's a fair way to look at it.

    Perhaps some crimes are big enough that there are multiple punishments. It is valuable for a society to show that some crimes will literally ruin your life, as an example to others. Her rehabilitation will not make society whole - her best and highest calling now is to be an example of what happens when you endanger people at that scale.
