There’s no shortage of people desperate to get rich quick. I bet she’ll have no problem concocting another scam. Next time it’ll probably be some scam where she doesn’t even have to deliver a product. Who knows what types of new securities fraud she’ll be able to commit a decade from now

I’m not so sure. She kind of lucked into this ‘female Steve Jobs’ zeitgeist at a time when it seemed like that’s what the world was looking for.

But the reality is she’s not some genius, just a college drop out who was never that smart in the first place. There was that conference where actual tech people were asking her probing questions and seemed gobsmacked by her non answers.

For some reason it took awhile before the rest of the world caught on. People like their zeitgeists. But now it’s pretty clear she’s just a bimbo trying to fake her way into fame and fortune. She’s not coming back from this.

The amount of people willing to make money even though it means creating people like her or Apartheid Elon is one of the reasons why shit like this happens constantly.

That's shady marketing on a product that exists. Tesla cars exist. SpaceX rockets exist. Starlink satellites exist. The Boring Tunnel exists.

It's idiotic to compare those to Theranos, which as a company never delivered a single product.

I am truly amazed I have to explain this. Don't be greedy with your chromosomes my dudes.

That’s because you made the mistake of thinking this is a sub about technology.

It isn’t. People don’t discuss the technology and are largely technologically illiterate.

It’s about the high level potential impact of technology, and generally a focus on specific dislikable individuals with high profiles. Cause that’s easy karma points.

She will launch a crypto token and scam a bunch of people just like that Martin Shrekpilly guy or whatever his face is called did as soon as came out of jail. He went straight to Wall Street bets and crypto subs to scam them. And ofcourse they let him. Made more then 10 million within 2 months of getting out of jail. Apparently they bought know the secret to convince a fools money to part ways.

Replying to UnkindlyDisagree (#576,646)

What Holmes was selling is a product that already exists too. It is called a Lab-on-a-chip, a device used to make analysis on very small amounts of blood. Just google it if you don’t believe me. It was also already sold commercially before she even dropped out of college, and it is very high tech product that takes a lot of research and investment to design and manufacture, and there was no way a college dropout could actually make one.

But somehow she was able to sell it as something that was actually new and innovative, but was unable to use the money raised from investors to hire a team of competent engineers to design her own Lab-on-a-chip before some journalist found out she was actually using the ones made by other companies and using her investors’ money for that. If she had been better at hiring competent people and managing them, she could have succeeded, but she was just a narcissist crook, so she did not.

Personally, I think the only difference between her and Elon Musk is that Musk is better (or maybe just more lucky) at hiring competent people. He is not better at managing them (his antics at Twitter show that he is actually an extremely incompetent manager), but that was enough for him to have other people actually make the products he was selling and succeed. But they are both narcissist crooks, in my opinion. Musk is just a better crook : he is shady, but knows better than to do anything actually illegal.

Federal sentences are not able to be reduced more than 15%. She will serve minimum 85% of her sentence. Only way she's getting out in 3 years is if she gets her actual sentence reduced on appeal.
