Scammed a lot people, where most were rich people. That’s why she got thrown in jail.

Probably true. But also millions of regular sick people going to Walgreens for blood tests used these devices and got BS results. Not just rich people were affected by this.

Don’t steal (from the rich). They always leave the important part out.

It was all a part of trying to look more masculine and trustworthy is a landscape dominated by white men. She also used, and I kid you not, voice changing software to make her voice deeper.

Of course this all didn’t help that there wasn’t a single trustworthy fiber in her being. It was all smoke and mirrors.

In case it’s any consolation, I came here to say largely the same thing, except that I was going to say I liked the poster’s name.

Is… this a thing?

I know who that was, it just… came and went, didn’t seem like anybody cared much.

Although I’m not American, maybe it was a bigger deal there?

Yeah, it would have to be super niche spaces. I followed what was going on with her, but I never saw a picture of her I can remember. Seems weird to still know what she looks like lol

The black turtle neck was just a thing for Holmes. Idk if she wanted to be Jobs or what, but it was a definite thing. Plus there was a documentary about the whole scandal that WA’s moderately popular that reinforced the look.

I just wanted to kiss Worf!

(I’ve actually never done it. Shaving is hard. I’ve always had a goatee, no facial hair, or full beard.)

Also planned on scamming patients, but yes the reason she got bonked was because she fucked with the elites

DID scam patients, but there’s no justice if you aren’t ‘worth’ the police’s effort.

And Theranos was her company, not some super vilain from an american comics.

I mean if you didn’t know (either, so I looked it up).

Did she become Theranos in the latest movie or something? I think I’m still missing something.
