I'm bending that way too... Everyone is getting away with stealing billions these days, why make an example out of her? Today it is all about Effective Altruism, all the money she stole may have been used for great humanitarian projects. Who are we to judge?

Frankly, if Victoria Nuland, Peace Prize Barack Obama, Joe Biden and co-conspirators get less than 11 months for murder and carnage and $100 billion destruction [of cash, not humans], not counting buildings and everything else [more 100s of $billions], with 100,000 dead humans counted at $1 million each [bargain price for Ukrainians and Russian soldiers] and 200,000 maimed humans counted at $300,000 each [another bargain] = $60 billion. Plus PTSD of huge numbers, then she should get less than 11 hours for $5 billion losses [or whatever it was] to investors but no harm done to anyone [near enough to zero direct physical harm]. It appears the global murderous criminals are going to get away scot free. And have pocketed umpty $million kickbacks and whatnot as well as having fun doing it. Just the lies, propaganda, fraud and trickery should earn the western propagandists lifetimes in prison, or, I suggest, execution. Their lies, fraud and propaganda have led to death galore, horrors and trauma. Destruction and carnage. And talk of nuclear war as though there hasn't already been insanely great damage. They continue to issue propaganda = deliberate lies to keep the carnage going. The Euroserfs are starting to get concerned. Even some Americans have noticed the situation. Mqurice

what would her sentence be in china? hong kong? how much of the 11 years (u.s.) do you suppose she'll actually serve? do you think she'll get waterfront property from the deal: "...San Quentin Prison is like a big school to them. Inmates can choose various clubs of their interest, form sports teams, publish publications, and even take free courses in some of the world’s top universities nearby. Courses, such as those at Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, and Davis, cultivate skills while cultivating sentiment. The prisoners said: Living here is like heaven, they feel full and happy..." coinyuppie.com instead, they could let her live homeless on the streets of s.f. for 11 years, i suppose.... :0)

I think she deserves a metal Old men so enjoyed going to lunch with her she was the only number they were perusing. Theranos’ investorsTheranos raised about $1.3 billion in funding ($1.4 billion including debt financing) over the course of its history, per Crunchbase data. Theranos first raised money with a $500,000 seed round led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson (now called Threshold) in June 2004, according to Crunchbase. Some of the most high-profile investors in the company include: Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who led a $5.8 million Series A in February 2005;Venture capitalist and Draper Fisher Jurvetson partner Tim Draper, who remained an outspoken defender of Theranos at least until 2018; Oracle Executive Chairman and founder Larry Ellison; andNational pharmacy and retail chain Walgreens.Following Murdoch’s investment, Theranos raised a $9.1 million Series B funding round led by ATA Ventures and a $28.5 million Series C, both in 2006. Theranos then raised $45 million in venture funding in July 2010. Among the large VC and private equity firms to invest in the company were Partner Fund Management and Fortress Investment Group, which led Theranos’ last financing event, a $100 million debt financing in December 2017, before the blood-testing company shut down. Theranos’ partnershipsIt wasn’t until 2013 that Theranos began operating more publicly and started to receive mainstream attention. The company raised $50 million from pharmacy giant Walgreens, which began a relationship with the startup back in 2010, according to The Wall Street Journal. Eventually, there were more than 40 Theranos testing centers in Walgreens stores. Walgreens, Theranos’ most high-profile partner, later sued the testing startup after reports questioning the validity of its tests came out, alleging a breach of contract. Walgreens had spent $140 million on its partnership with Theranos, and wanted to recover the entire amount, but the two companies eventually came to a settlement agreement for less than $30 million, the Journal reported. Over the course of its history, Theranos also formed partnerships with the Cleveland Clinic and became AmeriHealth Caritas and Capital BlueCross’ labwork provider in Pennsylvania. Theranos’ board of directorsPart of what made Theranos such a big name in Silicon Valley was the people the company brought on for its board of directors. The company had notable figures from the worlds of both business and government as members of its board. They included: Henry Kissinger (former United States Secretary of State);Jim Mattis (retired Marine Corps four-star general);George Shultz (former United States Secretary of State); Richard Kovacevich (former CEO of Wells Fargo);William Perry (former United States Secretary of Defense); and William Foege (former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
