Summary
Elizabeth Holmes lost her appeal to overturn her fraud conviction, with a federal court ruling there were no legal missteps in her trial.
The court also upheld the conviction of her former partner, Sunny Balwani, and ordered both to pay $452 million in restitution.
Holmes, serving an 11-year sentence, falsely claimed her startup Theranos had revolutionary blood-testing technology.
The fraud, exposed in 2015, became one of Silicon Valley’s biggest scandals, leading to Theranos’ collapse and widespread media coverage, including books, documentaries, and a TV series.
She should’ve just announced a presidential bid the moment she got charged. Would’ve given her another 4 years.
Didn’t she get pregnant twice to avoid prison?
… in prison? Another 4 years in prison, right?
Nope, we’re talking the USA, so she would have become president
Imagine being so incompetent you can’t even arrange for a pardon under fucking Trump.
The problem is that she screwed rich people over. If she stuck with just screwing over everyone else she would have been fine.
I remember reading about Theranos starting up, watched the documentary and podcast. The false positives (or negatives) was appalling.
She’s a blonde woman so he probably had some… special quid pro quo
I think you mean quid pro ho.
Hey now, let’s not ignore how deeply misogynistic the Trump administration is. That definitely plays a role.
if i had a nickel for every deep-voiced woman named Elizabeth wrapped up in a massive fraudulent enterprise, I’d have ten cents but it’s still weird that it happened twice
She fakes the deep-voice
Her one fatal misstep was being a woman.
Yeah, the 9 billion dollar fraud and countless known misdiagnoses (causing untold suffering) weren’t the problem, being a woman was.
You’re full of shit
*Gestures toward the White House and Tesla.*
She shoulda bought Twitter when she had the chance I guess.
Is it just me or does she look like Zuckerburg in a wig?
Haha no, I saw that too.
I’m beginning to recognize the “face” of psychopathy and it isn’t healthy, I feel.
Like, put me in a room with 100 strangers and I have a pretty sharp radar for billionaires and killers.
She looks too human compared to Zuckerberg.
Hide the cleavage and look again.
