Society’s fascination with “big crime”, especially fraud—figures like Frank Abagnale, Anna Delvey, Jordan Belfort, and obviously Holmes herself have all been turned into popular films or TV series. 2.

She seems to have landed on some financial stability through her spouse, which I’m sure is being used in small amounts for things like this. 4. In a strange way, she appears eager to redeem herself. An ethical person might do this through charity or similar means, but for her, being seen as a “titan of industry” likely equates to redemption.

She knows what country she is in, at least.
