CNN guest says Elizabeth Holmes ‘might end up somebody’s girlfriend’ in prison
Former federal inmate and “consultant” for convicts Larry Levine made some crude remarks during an appearance on CNN’s “News Central” where he discussed Elizabeth Holmes’ upcoming 11-year prison sentence. Holmes, the disgraced tech mogul who was convicted of defrauding investors with bogus claims about a revolutionary blood-testing technology, is due to report to Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas on Tuesday afternoon. During the segment, Levine advised that Holmes spend time with her kids before having sex with her husband because “she might end up being somebody’s girlfriend in there because she’s not a bad-looking woman”. Levine, who founded Wall Street Prison Consultants, served time in prison for racketeering, securities fraud, obstruction of justice and narcotics trafficking. Some inmates at the minimum security facility are said to be eagerly anticipating Holmes’ arrival. Others reportedly think her sentence is too light for the amount of money she defrauded.

CNN guest suggests Elizabeth Holmes could potentially become an inmate’s partner in prison.
Larry Levine, a former federal inmate and the founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, appeared on CNN’s “News Central” on Monday to discuss the impending incarceration of Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes, the founder of Theranos, was convicted of defrauding investors and is due to report to the Bureau of Prisons on Tuesday to serve an 11-year sentence. During the interview, Levine suggested that Holmes should “have sex with her husband because she might end up being somebody’s girlfriend” in prison. Despite Sanchez’s laughter and the anchor’s attempt to shift the conversation, Levine defended his comments, saying, “They asked me what advice I had for her, OK? So I gave them the advice.” Levine, who served ten years in prison for racketeering, securities fraud, obstruction of justice, and narcotics trafficking, also warned that women inmates are “gay for the stay” and that Holmes could fall prey to “predators” during her time in prison. Bryan Federal Prison Camp, where Holmes will serve her sentence, houses approximately 900 white-collar, non-violent female inmates, and Holmes will likely be given a short-sleeved khaki uniform upon her arrival.
