    I saw the picture before reading the text, and thought “oh no what has Elizabeth Holmes done now.”

    Your insistence on using the Darth Vader voice probably wasn’t helping either.

      But you gotta admit, it kind of worked. It was unusual and I still know how she sounded. She really crafted that character and hurt the 1%…

      Holmes scammed a lot of people while her whole wardrobe consisted of black turtlenecks

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

        FTFY

          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.

            The hilarious thing was that she was actually acquitted of scamming patients. She was only convicted of scamming investors for claiming that patients could be treated using false tests.

      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 say they should take it back. I’ve never met a blonde who looked bad in black.

      This woman could wear a trash bag and still look gorgeous, I bet. It’s obvious she’s more diligent about her health than I am about mine. Well done.

        In response to a similar comment about her appearance, Marilyn Monroe did an entire photo shoot in a flower potato sac.

        You should try making lots of money by scamming people. It allows you to focus more on your health and the more you focus on your health and look better the more people trust you and the more you can scam them

        I don’t remember where the quote is from

        “Do I look ugly in this dress?”

        “Honey, you would be beautiful with nothing but a pot on your head”

        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).

        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.
