Or the judge trolling so that she'll pop out the kid and have some days to bond, and as soon as life feels somewhat normal and together the kid will be ripped away and she'll be tossed in a place full of gnashing of teeth and suffering.

She knew she had a high chance of incarceration, it’s the kids that’ll suffer, not her.

[dismantlethesun]

Suffer how exactly? The kids will have a father outside of prison, two sets of grandparents and several times more money devoted to them than the median American income.

If anything being kept away from the care of their fraudster unapologetic mother would be a boon , not suffering.

Growing up without their mom for their first decade? Jesus christ man.

Growing up without a mom is a hardship. Growing up without her as their mother is a blessing.

[smabie]

I'd rather have her as a mom then no mom

Nonsense. The courts, the social welfare system and a significant number of both men and women have already, for decades, formally decided that removing one parent from a child is alright.

Why should they make an exception for this child?

[notch656a]

The father is a rich and reasonably attractive dude. I do not think biological mom necessarily has to mean de facto mom. I doubt a custody order will be difficult with real mom in for a dime of prison. This could be a golden opportunity for those kids.

[dismantlethesun]

I am really surprised by the amount of sympathy given to her as their mother.

Do you not believe a bad mother is worse than no mother?

[nunez]

for a very long portion of their lives, they will be known as "the kids of the woman who defrauded investors of hundreds of millions and sold dangerously dodgy medical equipment"

so maybe that?

A stunning indictment of the American penal system delivered as some sort of flex?
