Mark Zuckerberg’s dead eyes, Steve Jobs’ black turtle necks, voice of Megatron.
Seems legit.

[LyRaLex]

First they think you're crazy... and then they find out you are actually crazy.

[dirt]

instead of going into medicine, this lady should've been a politician. she would have killed it.

[rorygiambalvo]

Shoutout to Erika Cheung, one of the main whistleblowers who isnt mentioned here. She didnt have the resources and safety net Tyler Shultz had, and spoke out anyway.

[PippiOnePointOh]

I’m a medical laboratory professional, and I can tell you that not everyone was taken in by Elizabeth Holmes. The medical laboratory community was crying foul from the very beginning.

[ThatWeirdoRightThere]

Yeah the first red flag is that she dropped out of school to create medical tech with basically no medical knowledge

[opedromagico]

Her eyes are from the same tech company that made Zuckenberg's eyes

[GeorgetteBu]

Imagine how her two children will feel when they find out that they were conceived in an effort to reduce or prevent their rotten mother from going to prison.

[JETC]

Regarding her not caring about her senior employee's suicide: she also had no qualms about doing unreliable tests for cancer patients, lying to people giving her hundreds of millions, etc. Meanwhile, her dad (and probably childhood role model) was one of the execs at Enron, who were famously on tape joking about how they were screwing the elderly over, like cliched movie villains, so it's not exactly a shocker she didn't care a guy killed himself because of her lies.

[Hank..]

she should've gone into politics. She had a thirst for power, a disgusting and inhuman disregard for the well-being of others, a near-superhuman ability to charm and deceive people, and an outstanding talent for gathering the support of political string-pullers. If she'd had the patience to wait until she was 35, she would've been president.

[Skank_and_Gutterboy]

3:05 As an engineer, this is what pissed me off about Holmes. She going around telling people that she's "a trained engineer" when she went to school for 18 months and had zero working knowledge in that field. The first year is all math, chemistry, and physics prerequisite courses, so she took 3 or 4 actual engineering classes at most. It's like dropping out of medical school a year into the program and telling people that you're a doctor. What a scumbag.

[pgbrown]

I worked at Walgreens when this was going on. It was embarrassing and disturbing. Walgreens poured money into this company and, at the same time, slashed store budgets and staff. They gutted their Frontline for a scam, then blamed the frontline when they realized they got conned and sales started slumping. They're still making cuts to this day trying to recover the lost money.

[hggfvjhg]

When Elizabeth come out of prison, she would write a memoir detailing her scamming experiences. Her book will become the best selling book of the year. Then she become a motivational speaker for the crowd and she can make millions again, just like Jordan Belfort in Wolf of the Wall Street. History always repeats.

[riotwire]

As a natural low voice lady, that is the fakest low lady voice I've ever heard in my life. It's painful to listen to and you can hear the strain in her vocal chords.

[carol]

As a pathologist its absolutely insane to me that anyone bought this. One drop of blood isnt even sufficient for basic cell counts in the automated machine and even in those there's things we should be weary like the effect of lipemia (one of the reasons you need to be fasted for your analysis) not to mention biochemistry and endocrinology. This isn't possible with such little sample

[BigJyeTV]

Meanwhile somewhere in the U.S. an honest business owner is struggling to make ends meet. smh

[dietdrpepper]

Love how the grandfather didn't believe his educated smart grandson. 'Nah sonny, this woman who has never been to medical school, or even a college degree knows so much more than you, I trust her cause her voice is lower than yours.' I respect that guy for still telling the world about it, mostly to stick it to his grandfather.

[nabeelwork]

Fake it till you make it does not work on exact sciences

[afasico]

There were two main whistleblowers, Erika Cheung (who is always erased from the narrative - here she was displayed but not even named) and Tyler Shultz. They both faced severe pressure because they decided to speak up.

[GodlikeIridium]

As a polititician she would be f***ing rich now and in a high position...
