I should add, the reason Holmes was so "revered" wasn't only the connections of her parents. It was because she was female and as we all know the "female market" is underserved. Of course, that's total bullshit. I don't know one investor that has turned down a company because of someone's gender or race. Not one. People that use that excuse are full of shit, or victimhood and they shouldn't be running a company anyway.
The big money was too powerful. Finding her guilty on less than a majority of the charges was a fail by the prosecution. I think the investors were just dumb. No one should go to jail because you were dumb.
I'm mostly indifferent to the investors she cheated. But I am blown away that the jury didn't find her guilty of cheating the patients. Because the customers have the right to expect that what you're selling works, and what she was selling didn't work

Your insight is utterly amazing. Thanks for sharing. The verdict surprised me a bit today, I expected her to be let off given the venue.
