Theranos Founder Starts 11 Yr Stretch

[Faraday]

 

"The Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has turned herself in for an 11-year prison sentence, marking a final chapter in a years-long fraud saga that riveted Silicon Valley."

"She promised a revolutionary technology that could run hundreds of health tests on just one drop of blood, amassing millions of dollars in funding from big-name backers like the former secretary of state Henry Kissinger and media mogul Rupert Murdoch."

It's about time, talk about a blatant scam. She might be going to Club Fed, but you don't get out early for good behavior there either. She will do most of the eleven years.

It has been a long time in waiting for this grifting scammer to face justice. 

    A regular man would have managed to get beaten up at least 5 times by now..

How anybody could remotely believe that this ditsy vacant looking blond with no prior relevant success, had somehow acquired some earth- shattering “special knowledge” that had eluded scientists, engineers & technicians developing & specifying blood tests for last fifty years or more, is beyond belief, and speaks volumes on the credibility and reliability of the idiot “ investors” piling in like demented lemmings, with zero normal business research, which could not have failed to expose this shameless charlatan and her nonsense.

her Indian/Pakistan boyfriend is also the guilty one, pushing her to make blatant lies to investors, and producing fake letters from Pharma labs like Pfizer

As CEO of a ( formerly) large company, the defence of “ but my boyfriend / guru/ priest told me to do it” is not going to be effective in courtnor could any such “ accomplice” be charged without written evidence or witnesses I suppose……
