General :spray-bottle: for this thread, because I can already see the direction it's going in.
It's uncanny. They should meet up and make the worst human duo imaginable.
I am happy that Enron happened before I was this online so I didn't have to see takes about how being a capitalist that does scams is good actually.
Yeah but you deserve to lose all your money if you are investing in someone claiming to be able to develop checks notes low cost mass market blood tests
the way you phrase it doesn't do justice to how unrealistic her proposal was, it was the small size of the machine, small size of the blood sample, 200+ tests, and aggressively fast time frame. Almost all experts believed at least one of those were literally impossible to achieve, just because physics or w/e.
I'm not losing sleep over kissenger or murdoch getting grifted but fraudulent biomedical research isn't something that I can find charming like I could semi-ironically selling them magic beans or a trash future startup.
The enron scam lead to lots of people paying more for electricity and random blackouts, this scam doesnt seems to have caused real harm to people who aren't rich ghouls. She's not a good person, but idk, this ain't Enron.
Worth remembering that that's only true because she got caught. Fucking up people's lab results would have done very real harm.
Wasn't the product undeliverable? Like isn't that why she got in trouble?
basically it's 5 years into it and people on the inside were getting ready to blow the whistle that the project was literally going nowhere, and one guy even committed suicide over it, but she was zucker facing how amazing the product development was going and even had demos using hidden equipment from other companies.
The only real difference between her and Enron or Elon Musk is that she failed almost immediately. Could have crippled a lot of the healthcare system if she managed to keep it going for just a little bit longer.
She is a ghoul just like the rest.
I really don't see that happening. How would a nonexistent medical device cripple the Healthcare system?
The test results would be faked like in their demonstration trials, one assumes
Nah Enron was a mini crisis and portrayed as such for the most part
You got to hand it over to her for successfully scamming horny ghouls
She certainly knows how to cultivate an image - in that shot she looks more innocent milk-maid than devious grifter.
Or maybe she’s just a blonde white woman? “Innocent”? Like come on y’all you gotta hide this shit better
If you image search her, you can see her girl-boss hair up look which is opposed to this blank-faced rube look she has going. It's 100% a trial tactic.
mhmmm but youre the one who said "innocent", also ive seen multiple docs on this chick, the only thing diff here is that she's not wearing the mascara and turtleneck, but otherwise, this is a candid rather than a controlled photo shoot, and her attempting to look presentable for court aside, you're the one who came out here with "innocent" so....like....?
She is attempting to cultivate an impression of innocence as a trial tactic - that's image management 101 in the courtroom.
"yes I am just a naive shepherd's daughter from the mountains, I couldn't have possibly bilked people for millions of dollars, your honor"
oh to drink deeply of the cool waters in those grey eyes as she reaches into my pocket and steals all the cash and my library card from my wallet
She's absolutely just mimicking appearances of different silicon valley ghouls. First Jobs and now Zuckerberg
Whenever I read the horny comments about this broad, I think of the podcast where they said she looks like a vacant-eyed doll filled with water and agree.
She was trying to make Kissenger loads of money by providing substandard medicine to poor people she was just bad at it
