    I'm too pretty

    ......well-----apparently not

    Elisabeth Holmes who managed to defraud Theranos investors out of billions and more importantly negatively impacted some people's health and welfare was sentenced to 11.25 years in jail and $400 million in fines.

    She "managed" her court image with two "fraudulent" pregnancies and what she told others a belief that she was too pretty to be sent to jail.

    Obviously, she ain't that pretty

    May her appeals be for naught.

    As my mom would say.. builds character..

    I hope that the experience changes her outlook on “who” she actually is and how to treat others..

    IMHO Martha Stewart came out of her experience a better person, and she helped others (taught classes) while she had the time on her hands.. (Snoop Dog is a good judge of character).

    There are poor kids doing more time for having a little dope in their pockets..

    She's lost the CEO position and struggled to pay her attornies. Putting the $400 million fine on top of that will put her in the same spot as O.J. Simpson, broke and powerless. I think that's appropriate for money-obsessed criminals. For, it hits them where it hurts.
