The trailer for the documentary is such a draw, due to the subject, and also how close they were able to get. She is a mythical character in many ways yet a tech Lance Armstrong.

She's not mythical. She's a female psychopath and that characteristic is fascinating for many people.

Only the female part is fascinating to them. Otherwise we'd see more high level dude psychopath scammers in prison.

But it's not the justice system; it's TV. And we have lots of psycho male scammers on TV.

Rehabilitating her image in the same format as Martha Stewart promises to be highly profitable for pre-public investors who can reap the holdings of bagholders yet to come.

I assure you that Nathan Fielder is not rehabilitating her image. If you’ve see his work, you’d understand.

He gets people with personality disorders or a lack of embarrassment to act insane in front of cameras, more or less. I don’t see why that would change, given the subject. She tried to get out of prison by having a baby.

SBF. Lance Armstrong. Both in a similar vein and both as fascinating.
