Why have I spent my Saturday watching dozens of videos about this woman?

[danielthangari]

Theranos sounds like a company formed by Thanos to destroy the universe

[ummeshbapat]

She could have tried politics instead. Perfectly cut for it 😊

[gigih.]

I love that the closing attitude is 'oh she was such a rockstar. It's too bad what happened to her.' She's a criminal snake-oil salesman. Don't make it out like it's a case of a good person down on their luck. She was a slime ball.

[rackt]

The gig is up. Someone should tell her it's ok to start using her real voice now.

My father is a medical professional and was telling me about a book somebody wrote about this whole fiasco. Apparently board members and many former employees agree she is extremely manipulative, and was completely irrational to the point of possible mental illness. I’m reading the book when he’s finished, sounds like an insane story.

Millions of dollars from this and just 20 years in prison? I see people do 20 years for a few $100 bills of coacaine.

[Hawk-lyfi]

She looks like Zuckerberg's robotic twin sister.

[Mdg]

it is a fake voice - she speaks deeper on purpose

[mrchii]

Judge : Do you swear to tell the true ?

Holmes: (fake her voice ) I do

Hahahahahahaha that cyborg girl killed me

[nickisbeaste]

“The woman called the next steve jobs” never heard of her until now

[Pcarnevaaa]

“I’m a dropout”

Why do people idolize that? Lol

[snowyy.]

Her dad was the VP of Enron. I can kind of see where she gets her morals from

[sailormoonfreak]

i don’t condone her actions or think they are by any means ethical but i think this story is a really fascinating showcase of how corrupt our healthcare system is at large. the fact that she wasn’t caught sooner and she managed to fool so many people for so long when she truly knew nothing is remarkable and i think there are other people at fault aside from her.

[CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

She's proven to the whole world that anyone could be a CEO.

[williamsmith]

This woman knew that her blood testing equipment didn't work and she went live anyway. This woman is a monster!

[AJ-xmxc]

She seems to be on the edge of sanity.

[paulm]

She definitely deserves at least 30 years. Healthcare fraud has to have the highest possible punishment.

[ajmaeenmahtab]

Her eyes are as large as those of anime characters.

As a 26 year old entrepreneur, i was looking for inspiring business movies or series to watch. It is now 3 AM, i could not stop binging The Dropout series. I stumbled onto this without diving too deep in the trailers. During episode 1, 2 and 3 i was rooting for Elizabeth because the entrepreneurial spirit it takes to overcome obstacles. About 4 episodes in i started hating this woman with every fiber in me. By the time she changed her voice to be more "deep" i was about to pull my hair out. Can you imagine the bone chilling shock i got at the end of episode 8 when they started listing the real-life case updates, it was literally just then that i realized this was a real life event. I am young and not from the US, so i never heard of Theranos or the real Elizabeth. This is insane on a level unimaginable. Elizabeth, you are a disgrace to all Women, Humanity and the entire Entrepreneur Society. The fact that even after all this, you can remain cool about your crimes proves you are a psychopathic monster with alien eyes, a demons hart and an insufferable pretentious voice. I hope justice prevails in honor of all lives lost, families ruined financially or in health. F YOU!
