Liz Holmes appeal…denied (plus $452M restitution)

Liz learned a hard lesson. You can fuck poor people out of their money but don't fuck with people with more money or else you'll go to prison.

I remember when she got pregnant to avoid jail time. What a clown

Theranos's real problem was one layer of management higher than that college-dropout-cheerleader-figurehead-CEO-puppet they used as a scapegoat.

You'd think a medical device research company would have a Board stacked with experts in medical research and medical devices.

But it looks like Theranos's board had none.

Instead Theranos had a board full of politicians and rich bankers that seemed from the beginning structured to abuse their political connections to pump a stock and defraud government agencies ranging from the CDC to the DoD.

Theranos's Board of Directors:

George Shultz, former US secretary of state
Gary Roughead, a retired US Navy admiral
William Perry, former US secretary of defense
Sam Nunn, a former US senator
James Mattis, a retired US Marine Corps general who went on to serve as President Donald Trump's secretary of defense
Richard Kovacevich, the former CEO of Wells Fargo
Henry Kissinger, former US secretary of state and alleged war criminal.
William Frist, former US senator
William H. Foege, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Riley P. Bechtel, chairman of the board of the Bechtel Group Inc. at the time.

In retrospect, it should have been obvious from the beginning that this was structured far more like a stock pump&dump scheme than a medical device research company.

Yet no-one seems to be looking above Holmes.

I heard she dropped the fake deep voice?

Enough of her already. Throw that skank in jail and pay up the restitution!

But, but, but… she’s a woman! How could they hold her responsible for her own actions?

I saw this woman speak when she was just starting out. Within two minutes myself and my colleagues were quite impressed. Within ten minutes we were becoming skeptical. Within twenty minutes I had realized that she was just another start-up dreamer. I'm not in VC, but have pitched a number of times and run with that crowd – These guys are pretty damn good at what they do, they don't give money to fools. She must be good behind closed doors or everyone just trusted that the last guys did the due diligence, because how the fuck this girl got funding is beyond me.

Delaying is only postponing the inevitable. Just suck it up and go. The longer she postpones, all it will do is push out the date of her release.

Knowing her she’ll find a way to make people believe in her again, and she’ll at least pay some of the restitution. From all the interviews I’ve seen about her, she has an unusually gifted ability to inspire people toward her vision. If only it weren’t a sham. Her vision was awesome, just not realistic. But have a home diagnostic kit where you give a drip of blood and see you levels and risks for this and that sounds amazing. And I guess that’s all it ever was. A wishful idea

nostratic · 2023-05-18T22:20:23+00:00

she went all the way to pregnancy in an attempt to avoid accountability for her actions

CalmGains · 2023-05-18T05:38:35+00:00

She looks good for almost 40

1 last thing I hope for in this story is a one on one interview with Billy. After Elizabeth is locked up and he's no longer under her spell, I'd like a reporter to ask him what exactly he was thinking having 2 kids with a woman that was on trial for potentially 20 years behind bars. Does he have any regrets? Does he plan on staying celibate and patiently waiting about 9 years for his 48 yr old girlfriend to be released? Personally I'm guessing he's going to hand those kids off to his parents and nannies, and won't be in the picture much. And I'll guess that he'll be casually/secretly hooking up within a few months, but in a year or so after she loses her appeal, he's fully ready to move on and find a new wife or gf. This is a rich young heir who doesn't have a job and loves to party, I doubt he's going to be sitting in a rocking chair looking out the window quietly waiting for years.

Im proud to say she’s being imprisoned in my state.

Selrach_401 · 2023-07-08T18:54:07+00:00

She’s going to rich people prison most likely. I’m talking tennis courts and great beds in the cells. And let’s face it, she’s probably not gonna do the full 11 years
