Exactly.
They made an example of her, to teach those uppity, mouthy women who wouldn't keep their mouths shut in the kitchen.
I seem to be a little out of the loop on the history here. What happened to her?
She sold $230,000 worth of stock in a biopharmaceutical company after executives tipped off friends and family about a key drug they were researching failing to acquire FDA approval. After news became public, the company's stock fell.
She was sentenced to 5 months in prison, 5 months of house arrest, two years probation, and recieved a 5 year ban from serving as an executive of a public company, and a fine of $195,000. She has also been denied entry into other countries like Canada and the UK for being a convicted felon.
... Isn't that almost exactly the same thing Vivek Ramiswamy did?
Started or bought a biotech firm, literally got his own mother to conduct a 'study', concluding a drug in development worked and had potential, when in fact everyone knew it was bullshit, then he sold all his shares before larger studies concluded more publically that the drug was indeed bullshit?
