    So what happened to all the money she made? Please tell me she didn't get to keep it.
    Because I will do 11 years for 9 billion dollars. Just saying…I've made less in my lifetime.

    Poor Lizzie Dear πŸ€₯ will be out of the Texas prison Camp in less than 4 years, on "such good behavior." πŸ™ˆ

    She will be out in 12 months. Her father was also involved in the Enron bankruptcy. Such a disgusting and evil family.

    Basically she has got away with stealing hundreds of millions of dollars and destroying the lives of hundreds of people. Not bad.

  8. Luv1234

    The fact that everyone said she was worth billions is astounding considering there was NO PROOF she ever made money except spending other people's money. Shame on the so called reporters.
