Not deserving of jail time: VC funded, Charismatic founder with a fraudulent business.

How is financial fraud not deserving of jail time?
I believe it was sarcasm.

However, she most certainly is deserving of jail time; may Shkreli's precedent of $~19 million fraud and 7 years pave the way for Holmes. All ratios equal, the sentence should be ~270 years, naturally.

Unfortunately, because she is well connected to the VC folks, the $750 million and Ian Gibbons life will all go without retribution.

We have no idea where the DOJ is going to land on this yet.
