Christina Warren is conflicted: she lost $500 on a prediction-market bet that Elizabeth Holmes would actually serve jail time. Meanwhile, she argues the charges Holmes was acquitted of — harming patients — are more deserving of prison than defrauding the DeVos family. The thread responds to hot takes that Holmes should never have been jailed at all, showing ongoing tech-community disagreement over the Theranos verdict.
