I have the capacity to feel really bad for her kids. I couldn't care less about the rich investors money she squandered, but as a mother I'm spitting furious that she would bring two children into this world, knowing that she was guilty for the fraud that she stood accused of. She's begged the courts for leniency on behalf of her children, and I really want to believe that she didn't have children for that sole purpose, but I don't.

or perhaps not every human decision /behavior should be interpreted with too much intentions. Most likely she actually believed in how it could have worked out.

  There is a difference between believing she operates under such cold calculus, and not believing she doesn't. I could be convinced one way, but not the other.

One the other hand, if she waited until after prison to have children, she might have been to old to have them.

If I were being uncharitable, I'd say she had the kids to try and avoid going to jail. If she were a psychopath it's the sort of thing she might pull. On the other hand it may have been the only opportunity to have kids if she knew she was going to go inside for a while, so she maximised her opportunity.

  Doing whatever she wants out of self interest, and damn the consequences to those to who she's responsible for? Story checks out, but that's not much more generous.

    It looks like straightforward cost externalization: she achieved reproduction, the consequences of growing up without a mother are her children's problem, and the burden of raising them is distributed among other family members. By the way, is Elizabeth Holmes married? Whose children are they?

      Another rich heir. They mostly reproduce with each other and with top sport/entertainment people, but her reputation made that only the first category is available to her.
