I hope the foreperson announced the verdict in an obviously fake deep voice.

Not psychotic, calculated. She did it for the optics.

I think she probably is a psychopath, and it was calculated for the optics with the prosecution/jury, and locking in an anchor baby with generational wealth before she’s bankrupt and a business world pariah.

Saw this article about her being an imprisoned  mother of a young child.  https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/01/14/as-a-mother-in-prison-elizabeth-holmes-faces-an-agonizing-separation-from-son/

I had kind of forgotten/ignored her decisions to a) get married and b) have a child while under federal indictment.

On reflection, those were a couple of fairly psychotic decisions.  Made even more curious by the fact that someone else more or less agreed to them.

Sympathy Fuck Trophy to tug the jury's heartstrings in hopes for a clean sheet Not Guilty verdict.

Really odd development.  A witness for the prosecution reached out to Holmes’ team to recant some of his testimony. So he perjured himself? I’m sure the government will be very kind and understanding in this matter. 

Just STFU and let the bitch do 5 years in a white collar facility in Martha’s Vineyard. Instead the witness will probably be doing 5 years in San Quentin.

I looked and it wasn't specifically to recant testimony.  It was something less than that.  Still, a bizarre development.

Is it really going to be that high? I kind of assumed it would end up being 3-5. 

It's federal.  They usually do at least 80 percent of their sentence.  I bet she gets a pardon from President Biden on his way out.  She still has a lot of political ammo.

What kind of mind tries to have 2 children back to back during a trial where you know you could be behind bars for 15 years. I didn't know she was pregnant again. Sickening. Is that what pure selfishness looks like?

Maybe its a pretty sick attempt to get a lightened sentence

11 years. Yikes. Maybe she can use the time to graduate from college.

You can earn up to 54 days a year off a sentence by avoiding discipline.  The First Step Act added to that some by earning time off through taking classes.

Yeah.  It's right around 20 percent.  My cousin got caught up in a whole triad weed grow house operation before the weed thing relaxed and did some fed time.  Also know now to say nothing over the phone.  That RICO and conspiracy stuff is pretty damn easy to get a conviction

She probably won't go to jail for another 3-4 years.  She doesn't have to report to jail until April.  In the mean time her lawyers are going to appeal and from they are saying she is going to be allowed to be free until the appeals process goes through.  Must be nice to be rich.

Probably true.  If you don't get pretrial detention, you usually are free on appeal..

How much money she still got?  Asking for a friend.

No really, she was the world's youngest female billionaire or some such.  But it was all tied up in Theranos, right, or was it?  I'm sure the government attached all her assets, right?  How does any of this work?  Splain it to me like I'm 5.

She doesn't have any Theranos money left.  She cucked some rich ass hotel dude and has one kid with him with another on the way.  She met this dumbass after the the whole fraud fiasco.

People are sickly attracted to deranged. Similar to young, good looking chicks who write and marry serial killers in prison.

The move by the ultra wealthy has been to take out loans using their stocks as collateral. They can capitalize their stocks, but retain ownership. 

It's a hell of a thing if your stock is on the rise and interest rates are low. And it contributes to inflation, hooray!

He’s not insane, just weak and manipulable. Holmes is a psychopath (literally). Psychopaths can be incredibly attentive and can make their targets “feel like the only person in the world”. I’m sure she was sucking his dick / turning tricks / fawning all over him and being attentive to every little detail like her life depended on it; because it kind of does and she has no soul or moral compass.

Maybe he just likes her Barry White voice whispering in his ear while she NowThis' him?
