Did you follow any of her misdoings? It was highly probable that people would have gotten incorrect medical test results due to her fraud product. Such people get a taste of things like the WeWork guy and keep scamming the system with their fake ass charisma.

So fine her all the way into insolvency and assign community service. How does her imprisonment help her victims?

Fines into insolvency plus community service can do just as much to deter and would be more beneficial to everyone else. Imprisoning people is expensive.
