She went on the witness stand and continued to lie, showing no indication that she has changed course.

While I don’t share in the misanthropic sentiment of the OP, it’s difficult for me to not sit here and say well if you didn’t want to go to prison you shouldn’t have defrauded people and violated the law…

And her misdeeds did not just cost some wealthy investors some money; they seem to have played a significant role in the suicide of Theranos chief scientist Ian Gibbons: https://www.businessinsider.com/theranos-ceo-elizabeth-holme...

I don't think anyone here is saying she shouldn't be going to prison or that she should be going there for less than a decade. But spending 65 years in jail for _anything_ short of substantially heinous crimes should cause anyone to question the motivation behind the sentencing. I understand that the wire fraud is what's causing the time to stack up here, but a 65 year sentence would be ridiculous. I'm much more onboard with a 10-25 year sentence though, even if there's perjury involved.

Alternatively, there were retirement funds and real people whom she defrauded, some of which needed that money to live on and now do not have it. Strong punishments befit serious crimes. More than 140 million defrauded counts as serious. Maybe she shouldn't have broken the law?

Besides, she can likely get probation with good behavior after a decade or two of time served.

These retirement funds were invested in theranos?

You sure there weren't some that were?

I don't want her to serve out a death sentence. I'd like her to serve a fair sentence.
