I bet she still walks away with a few million and very little jail time. Granted it is nothing like the billions she was once worth, but if she comes out of the whole thing with $1. more than she had when she went into it, she is not broke. Broke is when you are trying to figure out how to buy food, or whether you should steal food. Broke is when you are about to be evicted. Not all assets have to be cash, either. Give me a Patek Phillipe watch in mint condtion, and I am good for money for at least a year when I sell it, and that is not even a diamond or limited production model.

      @@loisen *tons of women have companies which are worth billions of dollar*, I think thats quite an exaggerated statement you made there. Of course there are very successful women, but they dont come in tons. What comes in tons is low inteligent, some pretty, women that use their bodies to manipulate. After all, thats their most powerful weapon. Im not trying to be sexist here but the reality is just that.

      Yes. And her physical image did an undeniable 350. Her utter transformation of the no-nonsense, aggressive, driven, change-the-world businesswoman scientist, to the straight opposite soft, feminine, appearance-focused mother-to-be is complete night and day. The change of hairstyle, softer makeup, shoes and clothing (including the conscious choice to wear colors at all), all equal, “But look at me. I’m not a criminal. I’m innocent.”
