Who’s the idiot, again?
Nobody is apologizing for Elizabeth Holmes. We’re telling you what’s going to happen because the rules for rich white republicans in the US are pretty clear, but most Americans don’t pay attention.
“She’s so guilty! Slam dunk case! She’s going away forever! She’ll be found guilty of so many crimes her head will spin!”
Suuuuure, Jan.
This case will be dragged out for years. She’s not stupid. She had access to lawyers. Her lawyers knew how to word things to keep from going off the deep end. These Silicon Valley investors and “entrepreneurs” are first rate money launderers. “Move fast & break things!”
Did Mark Zuckerberg ever straight up ask anyone if he could collect & sell every piece of data related to their existence? No. He TOLD them he was doing it & that it was their responsibility to provide him with that free information or he was going to kick their asses off Facebook and OMG how on earth could they possibly *ever run their businesses*, or keep in touch with their families & friends & clients or keep up on what’s going on without FACEBOOK? They’ve got to have it!
Do you read the agreements you check off for Facebook, Twitter, apple......the agreements are book length. What kind of agreements do you think Elizabeth. Holmes lawyers wrote? They could've written very flowery words that can be legally interpreted in a court of law as “I agree there can be no expectation of recouping any invested money should this technology, which is in the planning stage, does not accomplish the goals stated in addendum XYZ in paragraph VII, axtp to passage 38 in the Acheneif projection.”
Legal gobbledegook is what white white rich people do.
Go read the LA Times article about the people who lost their life savings investing in Trump Baja, a resort being built in Mexico. There were videotapes of Donald Trump telling investors it was a Trump property. IvankaTrump went to the investor meetups and told them she was buying a unit and they’d be neighbors teehee, I can borrow a cup of sugar from yiu! Investors were told Don Jr was flying in & buying 2 units in the resort.
Resort was never built. Trumps said “Look at the small print at the bottom of the back of the brown brochure with you got in your major folder which contained all of the promotional and and some discussion of the prospectus materials, etc....”
Meanwhile, prospective investors were repeatedly told to remove parts of that material at meetings with lawyers, with financial managers, with developers, with real estate agents. That’s the whole point, CHAOS. Bury people in paperwork then tell them to pull out the purple pamphlet while we discuss X, then sign the yellow page & hand it back to them, then turn to the small pink folder inside the large blue & white pamphlet .....you getting the picture yet? Confuse, obfuscate, repeat, tell them they made a mistake, create chaos.
This is how rich white America does business. And you guys sit there and go. “But it has to be illegal! And it’s unethical. And if they broke the law they’re going to jail!”
Do you see any Trumps in jail? They pulled the EXACT SAME SCAM in Tampa. Again.... number of Trumps in jail? Or convicted of a crime? Donald Trump ADMITTED IN MULTIPLE DEPOSITIONS IN HIS FAILED PROJECTS THAT HE MAKES SHIT UP. He says under oath “I guess I say whatever I feel like something should be worth depending on my mood at the time I’m asked.”
Then he became president
