And she caused "regular people" real harm. It was not just her VC rich guy investors that she defrauded. She defrauded the public. She deployed the device in pharmacies! She had a deal with Walgreens. And it was ALL PRETEND!! The device never worked. Real people went to a pharmacy to get blood work, they were given faulty results. How many people do you think spent loads of money to get the correct results? People could have died with mis-diagnosis. And she KNEW it fake. That's the entire point.

People seem to think she just did some money crimes. It was way beyond that and absolutely horrific. She buried anyone who tried to blow the whistle. A reasearcher on her staff killed himself from the pressure. She ruined lives. She deserves prison.

They want to make an example put of her because she's a woman who flew too close to the sun. See Martha Stewart.

The WeWork guy needs to be in prison. Along with a dozen other tech bros

If you say so, but I doubt it. Her male co-conspirator received more prison time for the same offenses. It seems that she was given a break because she was a female.

These children have no mother, now. Her parents are devastated. Yes, I believe she had kids because she wouldn't have ɓeen able to later, not to sway the sentence.
I don't need my tax dollars going to this. Let her and so many others non violent offenders do real time in society. Limit their travel, how much they can spend, where they can live, how they live, etc., like so many people on Section 8, SNAP benefits, Medicaid. Let them help in homeless shelters, etc., Make them pay restitution with timeoutside, not serve it in a cell which accomplishes nothing.

I wish I had a say in sentencing all those college pay off parents. I think there were better ideas for them, too. Some people need to see how others live.

I really do feel for this woman. She effed up big time, deserves a sentence, deserves to pay off investors, but what will this accomplish?

Criminal behavior deserves prison time as a punishment.

There are more ways to punish someone than prison. Prison is a waste of money especially when people can repay society with service, and, in this case, money.

Well then prison should be considered a waste of money for all prisoners. All criminals should be allowed to simply repay society with service and if the criminal is flush with cash, they can walk away by writing a fat check.

Exactly. Why are the Neumanns still out and about? So GROSS.

Yup...it is so gross that the harpies on DCUM have so much schaudenfreude about a white woman going to jail.

You don't understand. They're saying her sentence seems harsh, whereas other tech CEOs (men) got away with no prison time AND golden parachute deals, which is unfair to women CEOs
