That's kind of a strange response. Holmes made millions of dollars administering bogus blood tests to real patients. She had real employees. Due to her potentially wilful incompetence a lot of people are suffering.

I don't believe anyone here is advocating that we inflict physical punishment on her. But hoping that she loses her company and never gets to work in the medical field again not only seems like just punishment, but it seems prudent since she was studying chemical engineering when she dropped out.

It's unlikely she's even going to be poor. She'll probably still be worth more than you or I, and would never have to work for the rest of her life.

She'll never be poor because she came from a rich connected family before Theranos was founded.

Your views show how dangerous and misguided moral relativism is, when criminals shouldn't be punished by their own guilt and stress for crimes they committed on their own volition.

Poor Elizabeth Holmes, are you suggesting we should let her off the hook because she too suffered from "affluenza"?

I feel much worse for all the people she hurt (investors, employees, patients, partners, etc). I'm sure Kenneth Lay was in pain too, but I didn't feel bad for him either.

This pain is one of the most potent things that keeps people from trying to pull off fraud more often.
