I don’t even know what the fuck this means.
Holmes scammed a lot of people while her whole wardrobe consisted of black turtlenecks
It was all a part of trying to look more masculine and trustworthy is a landscape dominated by white men. She also used, and I kid you not, voice changing software to make her voice deeper.
Of course this all didn’t help that there wasn’t a single trustworthy fiber in her being. It was all smoke and mirrors.
Scammed a lot people, where most were rich people. That’s why she got thrown in jail.
FTFY
Probably true. But also millions of regular sick people going to Walgreens for blood tests used these devices and got BS results. Not just rich people were affected by this.
The hilarious thing was that she was actually acquitted of scamming patients. She was only convicted of scamming investors for claiming that patients could be treated using false tests.
Those patients had agreed to the terms by agreeing to the use of the test duh! 🙄
Don’t steal (from the rich). They always leave the important part out.
In case it’s any consolation, I came here to say largely the same thing, except that I was going to say I liked the poster’s name.
I saw the picture before reading the text, and thought “oh no what has Elizabeth Holmes done now.”
Is… this a thing?
I know who that was, it just… came and went, didn’t seem like anybody cared much.
Although I’m not American, maybe it was a bigger deal there?
Probably in American tech environments Everyone else has moved on lol
Yeah, it would have to be super niche spaces. I followed what was going on with her, but I never saw a picture of her I can remember. Seems weird to still know what she looks like lol
The black turtle neck was just a thing for Holmes. Idk if she wanted to be Jobs or what, but it was a definite thing. Plus there was a documentary about the whole scandal that WA’s moderately popular that reinforced the look.
Your insistence on using the Darth Vader voice probably wasn’t helping either.
Do not underestimate the power of the Dark Side…
But you gotta admit, it kind of worked. It was unusual and I still know how she sounded. She really crafted that character and hurt the 1%…
me every time I’m shaving my mustache under my nose.
We’ve all done it.
Bastard ruined it for us all
I just wanted to kiss Worf!
(I’ve actually never done it. Shaving is hard. I’ve always had a goatee, no facial hair, or full beard.)
Well, I’m OOTL, apparently…
Woman started company that scammed rich investors instead of just the plebs so she got gaoled.
Also planned on scamming patients, but yes the reason she got bonked was because she fucked with the elites
DID scam patients, but there’s no justice if you aren’t ‘worth’ the police’s effort.
And Theranos was her company, not some super vilain from an american comics.
I mean if you didn’t know (either, so I looked it up).
You’re either Welsh, or you play Elden Ring. Which is it?
Australian.
No, I meant in real life
google image search Elizabeth Holmes
Did she become Theranos in the latest movie or something? I think I’m still missing something.
While it sounds like a superhero-thing, theranos was a scam medical company.
Reading this in the voice of a 30-year smoker.
I say they should take it back. I’ve never met a blonde who looked bad in black.
This woman could wear a trash bag and still look gorgeous, I bet. It’s obvious she’s more diligent about her health than I am about mine. Well done.
In response to a similar comment about her appearance, Marilyn Monroe did an entire photo shoot in a
flowerpotato sac.
That’s a pretty shapely bag.
she’s more diligent about her health
That or genes. It’s the genes.
Trash bags are typically black, so.
I don’t remember where the quote is from
“Do I look ugly in this dress?”
“Honey, you would be beautiful with nothing but a pot on your head”
You should try making lots of money by scamming people. It allows you to focus more on your health and the more you focus on your health and look better the more people trust you and the more you can scam them
Makeup, maybe.
Health?
Bet she tries to be a fruitarian with pancreatic cancer.
What about a 300 pound blonde?
She didn’t look bad either.
All you’re saying is that you’re happy to bang fatties as long as they are blonde.
Nothing wrong with that. You do you bro.
Or a chubby chaser who isn’t picky about hair color. Let’s not make assumptions.
And god forbid you have a cold making your voice lower
Drop the look. It was never good to begin with.
