gopled··on Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to 11 years in prison for Theranos fraud
It seems odd to me how she's being punished so much for defrauding investors, but not for endangering patients with fraudulent blood tests.

Is the latter just easier to prosecute because of the paper trail? Or is the law biased more towards punishing financial crimes?
