Elizabeth Holmes - Theranos Fraud - to report to prison April 27

Probably not - she's too connected and a white mother of two.

Two weeks and counting. Will she use her fake baritone while pleading for mercy?

She’s the type I would have expected to flee the country.

She tried shortly after her conviction but was caught at the airport and her passport revoked. For being such a smart long-con artist, she was an ignorant short-term thinker.

I would actually pay good money to watch this bitch in prison as a documentary.

She'll be running the place in a week. Probably start a sex-for-pay con with the old guards. It worked on the outside!

I forgot about her getting busted trying to go to Mexico, for a wedding or something, according to her. She should already be locked up, based on that.

She's a white rich woman. She's going to go to a Martha Stewart jail, knit sweaters, do Bikram Yoga then come out with a memoir showing how she was the victim in all of this.

R8, that's true, but her sentence is long, 10+ years. Then, again, she'll be young enough (when she gets out) to start another business, if she wants to.

I'm watching the American Greed episode on her.

I can't get over the voice.

I can't imagine a roomful of board members listening to that voice and not laughing out loud.

Only 8 more days to go! She just got the word today that her last appeal was rejected so April 27 will hopefully be her last Thursday as a free woman for at least 11 years. Let's see if it really happens.

So looking forward to her perp walk.

As pf 4/21: The former chief operating officer of the failed startup Theranos, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, has reported to prison, according to his attorney. Once valued at $9 billion, Theranos attracted top investors and retail partners with claims that it had developed technology to test for a wide range of conditions using just a few drops of blood. The company began to unravel after a Wall Street Journal investigation in 2015 revealed Theranos had only ever performed roughly a dozen of the hundreds of tests it offered using its proprietary technology, and with questionable accuracy. Balwani's arrival into custody this week marks an end to a yearslong saga which saw him become one of the rare tech executives convicted for fraud. The founder of the company, Elizabeth Holmes, was also convicted on multiple counts of defrauding investors and has been ordered to turn herself in next week.

[quote] she was an ignorant short-term thinker.

Her con was being the strangely attractive and idealistic daughter/woman. This made older men completely obsessed with her.

It was an amazing power but it doesn’t help you flee the country.

[quote]This made older men completely obsessed with her.

The smartest thing she did in this crazy scheme was targeting accomplished, narcissistic men, mostly past their primes, as her marks. Their allegiance to their egos (and to a lesser extent, their greed) was so rock solid that once they were hooked, nothing was going to make them budge.

Billy McFarland of Fyre Festival fame is out of prison already.

Either he or Martin Shkreli were inside with The Situation.

R16 You nailed it. Those old, important guys missed holding their own spotlight and were more than happy to share her's. Elizabeth gave them relevance again - Schultz, Mattis, Kissinger, etc - all past their prime.

R16 and r18, I agree that was a big part of it.

Imo though, her unique ability to charm/attract these older men was an even bigger element of their stubborn support for her than their own egos.

04/22 Watching the Alex Gibney documentary on CNN right now. Only a couple more days and, hopefully, she'll be locked up.

Tomorrow is the day! Can't wait to see what happens to her!

So she didn’t get him to put a ring on it. Huh. I assumed she was married.

Bitch looks way too relaxed in R22‘s pics

Because she just filed an appeal and therefore is escaping prison; for now. What a fucking cunt. Vile woman.

R24 I’m assuming she’s heavily medicated right now.

She was supposed to report to prison today BUT once again she gets out of it!

Busted trying to flee to Mexico on a one-way ticket.

What is with these old white men who just can't do enough for her?

R29 She must have the strongest pheromones ever! All those old white men on her board called her 'ethereal.' Elizabeth needs to bottle her sweat or pussy juice or whatever it is that these men smell and love.

If this bitch was black she would be in jail months ago

Fuck!!!

She's not pretty at all. One has to wonder.

The article at R27 says that the Feds have ten days to respond. Then, at some point, there will be a hearing. WTF? Will she ever go to prison?

Elizabeth will never see prison. Her perceived sexiness is her saving grace. None of her investors want this to proceed. They don't give a shit about the clients who were deceived with false diagnoses; they all took their losses off their taxes.

Democratic party will scoop her up name an oil tanker after her and she will be on the ballet in 2026.

I think she should be locked up for life because she is dangerous to all around her. Her kids will be better off if they never spend any time with her.

R36, it’s nappiie time in Minsk

[quote] …and she will be on the ballet in 2026.

Can she even dance?
