I would highly recommend reading the book by the journalist who first revealed the fraud in the Wall Street Journal - it’s called Bad Blood and it reads like a thriller. Some of her behaviour in the book is utterly chilling. They didn’t even touch on some of it in the TV series because you couldn’t have fit it all in.
Holmes is an absolute sociopath - she hired people to follow/spy on the journalist and his sources (one of whom was George Schultz’s grandson, Tyler). She tried to get the WSJ story shut down by Rupert Murdoch - one of her investors, who also owns the paper - multiple times and to his utter credit he refused, meaning he lost hundreds of millions of dollars. George Schultz’s son gave a victim impact statement in which he said his son Tyler slept with a knife under his pillow because he was terrified she’d put a hit on him.
She knowingly allowed cancer patients and other patients with serious illnesses to get the wrong test results because her product didn’t work. And she defrauded people out of millions.
I can absolutely believe she got pregnant to try and get reduced jail time. I don’t know what her husband was thinking even starting a relationship with her in the first place. I believe he’s pretty rich and is funding all her fancy lawyers too. She deserved to have had the book thrown at her.
(As a side note, apparently Leighton Meester (Blair in Gossip Girl) was born while her mother was in prison, can’t remember what for.)
