Completely agree that she won't spend time in prison.
Those pointing to Martha Stewart and Enron are underestimating how connected Elizabeth Holmes is.
Enron didn't have members of the board like Henry Kissinger, Bill Frist, and Sam Nunn. Normal companies don't have those people and certainly normal startups don't have those people. Holmes had easy access to high level members of government at the early stages of her company. Her connections are much stronger and higher level than anything Martha Stewart has/had. Of course, I would argue Elizabeth Holmes committed much worse crimes.
