    My sister went to St John's. She got a scholarship from an organization called A Better Chance. She started there in the 10th grade. She went there after attending freshman year at Forrest Brook in one of the worst school districts in the history of the world which has been taken over by HISD. My sister's son was the first black legacy graduate

    Please don't make this a race issue as was what it is. She is is obviously a great salesperson and she lied to get investors.

    People give money more easily to white women? I'm sure plenty white women try to get investment funding.

    Edit: Bernie Madoff wasn't a cute young white woman as well as the vast majority other people who have been guilty of similar crimes

    If she gets 11 years, SBF should get 110 years.

    Has to serve 85% of her federal sentence before becoming eligible for early release.

    If she had so much money and was so smart, how come she didn't flee to another country and bribe folks to protect her from extradition?

    Her father worked for Enron, that's why they lived in Houston, the family moved from Washington D.C. for his job.
