I agree with OJ and Aardvark. OJ gave a very succinct account.
She's been charged again and is in fresh trouble. But this does not detract from the plea deal she cut on previous charges. Why should it? The prosecutors may not even have been aware that there was a fresh investigation pending.
Like Bernie Madoff, Martin Shkreli shat where he ate, his sentence is deserved.
After reading Bad Blood, a detailed story of the rise and fall of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes is an evil woman who deserves jail time.
She knew what she was doing and gave no thought to the victims. In fact she got FoxNews to go after the author: John Carreyrou. She aggressively campaigner to have the book not published. The fact that she's flat broke is small consolation to the victims.

The new charges in the Northern District of California are are nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The United States alleges that Holmes and her partner Balwani knew that their mini analyzer (TPSU) did not work properly but they still deliberately mislead potential investors by staging false demonstrations of the machine.
We shall see if there is a conviction and if so what sentence is handed down but she is looking at a maximum of 20 years imprisonment plus a fine of $250,000, for each charge (now of course the actual sentence will be much less than that).
You combine this with her previous plea agreement and it certainly does not seem like she "got away with it."
