“the goal of the justice system is not to leave those found guilty of crimes in ruins." God, that grinds my gears; this law professor doesn't sound too worried about how non-white collar criminally accused get devastated financially, but LAWD FORBID we cap the potential wealth of Elizabeth Holmes and her ilk.

What does the opposite of grind my gears: David Roth on the pod! If I can't get Deadcast back, I will joyfully accept this combo.

This one really got me, too. Has David Sklansky never heard of forfeiture? Once convicted, your ill-gotten gains may be seized by the government. I’d argue she had intent to defraud; if found guilty, anything she purchased with those Theranos dollars should be fair game for seizure. And don’t even get me started on the process of buying justice (see: OJ Simpson) - it’s expensive. What is it that makes men feel they want to protect her? I so want you guys to cover this trial. Just putting that out there.
