Is there something wrong with that?
All investors (which includes just about all humans in one way or another) want a good return on their investment (of time or money).
Bottom line, she is a sociopath.
The problem is when you only see what you desire to see, and so fail to see what’s really there.
In investing, you always need to take a hard look at reality, and not get sucked into fantasy.
The failure of her investors was in not demanding to see details and working prototypes, and have her science confirmed by outside experts, before investing big money.
I think this CHILD (19 when she started) actually believed that with enough money she could get this to work.
Past a certain point it was clearly not going to, and that is when she should have notified investors. THAT is why she is going to jail.
She was too immature to understand she was now in criminal territory.
