This is advocating revenge, and being pleased to see someone suffer. Imagine she had a breakdown due to stress and her life went off the rails - would you feel that was fair? How much would she have to suffer before you are satisfied?

She benefited greatly from a cult of personality on the way up and is now finding out it goes both ways. I myself don't feel bad for someone who enriched herself while peddling snake oil and knowingly giving junk test results to real patients. It is despicable.

It's not revenge. It's accountability, and there can never be enough of it. If business leaders aren't held to account for their actions, then they are incentivized to misbehave and deceive others, which has a negative impact on everyone——especially those who would put capital to better uses.

I would say the fair amount of stress is equal to the amount of joy she must have experienced when her net worth went from $0 to 4.5 billion. The stress she is experiencing now is simply part of the way to 0.

revenge is a second action that is a constructed response to a first action. You would not call a swarm of bees attacking a person who knocked down the hive, "revenge".

Of course there is a subjective line here, but the things that have happened so far seem to be organic, natural, and maybe even predictable responses to the actions that that preceded. That's not revenge, that's just desserts.

How is self-inflicted pain considered revenge? She caused her own stress by taking money she didn't deserve and is now reaping what she sowed since she knew it didn't work.

yes, it's fair, because in exchange, she has been paid millions of dollars. you think she's giving any of that back?

I'd say that when the inevitable criminal probe is done, we'll have a better answer to that particular 'question'.
