  1. Can someone explain how he got more time than Elizabeth Holmes.

  2. I bet he learned his lesson! Donate to more democrats before committing fraud next time.

  3. He was already rich before this. He didn't know anything biotechnology. He was in no position to understand that this crap would not work. Elizabeth used him to bail her out with his money. Look at her current boyfriend and look at Sunny. She was using him. And then she threw him under the bus and tried to blame everything on him. Simpin ain't easy. He'll be in his 70's when he's released. Elizabeth will still have a life left when she's released in her late 40's.

  4. If you looking for Money & power get elected to office that's where the games are played & anything outside of that has severe penalties cause your not in the club.

  5. Maybe if he entered and left court holding hands like she did. What is she, freaking five years old?

  6. Good. Lizzy Holmes going down too.

  7. And meanwhile a white FTX guy who frauded in billions is walking free.

  8. So when is the founder of FTX up for trial?
    Probably won’t happen since he laundered money for the Dem politicians 🤫

  9. The gender bias in the legal system is insane.

  10. Too bad he can't claim pregnancy, like Holmes.

  11. So, she got fewer years behind bars because she's a woman?

  12. Let this be a lesson for the MSM !!! ✔️

  13. What type of prison will he get? Holmes get the one with out any fences and has tennis courts and other workout facilities.

  14. We all know where the rich go to prison.

  15. So he’s a man give him more time? The woman got less time, how the F is this possible?

  16. When are we going to start the 6-year investigation of Obama?

  17. He's not going to be sexually assaulted as much as her so he's got to do more time.

  18. They gave her 1 year off for each kid

  19. Wow. 13 years in a real prison and trump has done so many more egregious crimes than simple defrauding investors. If it were up to me, way back we we discovered Trump colluding with the evil empire (Russia), I would have sentenced his head be separated from his body under a falling blade of steel in a public domain, just like the good old days.

  20. Should have got 30 years she should have gotten 40

  21. They always give men longer sentences. sexist judges

  22. he will be pregnant by his inmates within a year

  23. So how is it fair that she ran the show but he gets more time than she?

  24. BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BE HONEST AND KIND

    MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU

    PLEASE HELP ME

  25. He gets more time than the actual founder of the company? Wow.

  26. I guess he can go to actual hardcore prison since he's an ugly man and not a pretty little white girl who's going to sleep away camp.
