How is she getting away with it? She will serve 11 years in federal prison for her crimes.

She's not in jail, and that's after she was already busted trying to flee the country while out on bail, yet the refusal to put her behind bars despite having been found guilty while she tries to reduce her jail time is an absurd indication of the corruption of justice allowed by being rich. She can appeal for a sentence reduction from behind bars, just like everyone else who isn't rich.

Meanwhile people who haven't caused people to die, who haven't caused major harm to others, and who haven't been convicted of anything at all are in jail because they can't afford bail.

I mean if she can keep delaying her sentence she won't be serving 11 years ...

Ask yourself, if I did what she did would I be in prison right now or maybe in the future?

Of course not, because that would also mean you had been scammed millions you could spend on lawyers to defend yourself :D

Better question: if you went around shoplifting stores for a week, were arrested, got bail, and then were caught buying a one way ticket to a non-extradition country would you still be out on bail? even before being found guilty.
