Lots of people serve less time than this in the US for literal murder.
Remember, she was convicted only of wire-fraud against her investors - the same investors that did very little due diligence before they handed her billions of dollars.
Rich people don't face consequences like that. They just tighten their purse strings. It hits the people they employ.
Plus all of that investment money would otherwise have gone to a real business and employed tens of thousands of real people for decades.
Her fraudulent enterprise robbed real opportunity from real people and real businesses.
Edit: Also, it's not just about eagerness to see her serve prison time. She committed serious crimes and has been given multiple opportunities to express remorse for what she has done. At each opportunity she has instead chosen to double down on her innocence. This is why we're all eager to see her serve the maximum length and quality of time.
Operating a straight up fraud is _just_ stealing from people.
If you worked for a business that failed, that's not going to prevent you from getting your next job. There's no harm to you personally for having worked there. On the other hand if you worked somewhere that perpetrated a fraud, then that will actively harm your future.
Also, failed businesses that attract VC money don't usually fizzle out...their IP and customer lists get acquired at a discount.
I don't think this is a fair description and it's loaded to support your point of view. C.f. wikipedia:
> Davila recommended she be incarcerated at Federal Prison Camp, Bryan, in Texas, a minimum security facility with limited or no perimeter fencing. "No one wants to get kicked out because compared to other places in the prison system, this place is heaven. If you have to go it's a good place to go," said a criminal defense lawyer.
And the reason you get sent to minimum security prison is because you're not seen as a flight risk or as likely to be violent -- a measure she meets.
No one here said they should. It was just pointed out that a Federal prison camp isn't a great match for "hard time", which carries the connotation of a particularly difficult penal institution. It seems a bit loaded.
You're comparing apples to oranges here. I'd like to see her do time, just as anyone else who isn't megawealthy would in this same situation
Rules for thee, but not for me.
The public sentiment is based on that, not what subset of behaviors were in her conviction.
Bloodthirsty was a poetic justice descriptor you chose, and it does seem to describe popular sentiment.
I don't know what you know about her but did much more than that and is probably getting away with it.
