Elizabeth Holmes: Theranos founder guilty of fraud

She was once feted as the world's youngest female self made billionaire who promised that her blood testing start-up would transform the future of healthcare but now Elizabeth Holmes has been found guilty of four counts of fraud - in a case which came to symbolise Silicon Valley's ethos of hype and corporate greed.

Holmes - who managed to dupe some of the world's richest and most powerful businessmen - now faces decades in jail.

What's shocking also is, that once again ppl with power and money get the verdict they wanted but ordainary people don't! They found her guilty of defrauding investors, but the jury concluded that she didn't defraud patients!

every cloud has a silver lining: Rupert Murdock lost 100 million

So the psycho eyes didn’t tip anyone off years ago?

[momurda]

She was a great manipulator and actor. That's all she was. Some miss the net, this one got caught.

[darkflighter]

Man oh man we are getting so many big cases coming to conclusions in quick succession. First Maxwell, now Holmes, and fingers crossed Andrew Windsor.

Sociopathic for sure. Hopefully, they throw away the key

Her fall from a great height will validate my own lack of achievement in life, everyone loves to ridicule an exposed crook who pretended to be otherwise 😂

Just "tell people what they want to hear" that's the motto of all scammers and fraudsters and that's exactly what she done. The modern art market is full of people who live by this motto, i should know as a close friend has earned millions off his art and by his own admission is completely talentless.

I love how people think Elon Musk created Tesla 😂

She is a product of the american factory that loves profits regardless of how it is made, this is only a later stage of the same con, more money being sucked from the investors to sue her, then she'll come out as a bankrupt and the lot loses the money anyways ...

That's what happens when you try to change the world. First they say you're it turns out they were right all along!

[caio]

Literally no one in this report looked like a normal human

[jdisrael]

She's a pathological liar, repentance is her only hope.

[Vlerkies]

Her deep voice will keep her ontop on the inside.

[margaretcurrie]

Windows to the soul . Her eyes 👁️ are souless

[luckyboy]

She certainly modelled herself on Steve Jobs - but not his deep voice as he didn't have one.

[brainstormingsharing]

🔴 Considering everything she did, she deserves a much, much more longer sentence ❗Considering that people from all over the world get the same or even longer sentences for much, much less than what she did ❗

[cats-uk]

I bet her critics were labelled as “misogynists”

If she wasn't caught early, her Theranos technology might have been used for covid tests.

Clinton's praise would of scared me regarding trust straight away.
