She was sentenced in November to serve 11 1/4 years of incarceration for deceiving investors in her blood-testing startup. To justify her request for bail, Holmes said she has two young children, continues to work on new inventions, and has raised "substantial questions" of law or facts in her appeal that could win her a new trial. Do you think Holmes had kids just to try to stay out of prison? Yes

At a hearing last month, the judge was most interested in an argument prosecutors made that there's a risk Holmes might try to flee, based on a one-way plane ticket to Mexico that was purchased while she was on trial. Do you think Holmes will try to flee before going to prison? Yes

By 2015, Forbes had named Holmes the youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaire in the United States on the basis of a $9-billion valuation of her company (which all came out to be falsified).I find her story to be quite interesting, although of course I believe she should be in jail.
