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.
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.
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.
kinda funny that her dad was a vice president at 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?

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?

Nah Enron was a mini crisis and portrayed as such for the most part
