#elizabethholmes The infamous Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos fame has been ordered by U.S. District Judge Edward J. Davila to report to the US Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas to begin serving a sentence of 11 years and three months for defrauding investors out of $900,000,000 US dollars (the actual figure is well above $1 billion US.) on May 30, 2023. Elizabeth, her 10 years younger husband, her two small children, and probably her mother will board a flight at San Francisco International Airport. They will fly to George Bush International Airport in Houston. They will rent a car. They will then drive to Bryan, Texas (The home of Texas A and M University.) Around noon Central Standard Time, Elizabeth will surrender herself at the Federal Prison Camp. She will go to receiving and discharge. She will be required to strip naked and submit to a detailed search including a cavity search. She will be issued prison uniforms and basic hygiene supplies. She will be escorted to a dorm and assigned a bunk in a dorm with other female prisoners. She will not be released until 9 years later. She might get a three-day furlough from time to time to visit her husband and two children. She may be allowed to transfer to a halfway house in the last six months of her sentence. When she regains her freedom at age 47 years, her husband will be long gone and with another woman. To her two children, the mother will be a stranger.
Elizabeth was given a massive fortune and the opportunity to do some good for all of us. Right now, she could be a billionaire several times over. She could have had fame and adulation worldwide. She could have had a place in history like Steven Jobs. She squandered this opportunity. She drove one brilliant scientist who could have made it happen to suicide. She failed to listen to brilliant engineers who could have made it work. The money, power, and fame literally went to her head. She missed a golden opportunity.
Elizabeth is lucky that she had a very nice US District Court judge known for giving easy sentences. Had she been in New York City, L.A., Oakland, Dallas, or Houston, she would have got a sentence in the range of twenty-five years. One particular judge in Houston (Judge Hittner) would have given her a sentence between 100 years and 110 years.
None of us will be fortunate enough to get an opportunity like this. Please do not feel sorry for Elizabeth.

"She failed to listen to brilliant engineers who could have made it work. The money, power, and fame literally went to her head. She missed a golden opportunity."

I agree with everything else you posted, except for the above statement. The science was never there to 'make it work.' From the very start, she knew this. Yet, she was able to con just about everyone into believing that a pin prick of blood would be sufficient for any number of blood tests, provided they were run through her magic machine.

Again, the science was never there to support her totally unproven claims. She was able to lie her way to fame and fortune, while wrecking the financial lives of her investors. Holmes has very powerful friends. She'll get out way before her 11 years are up, and that will be a travesty of justice.

She's a fake, phony, con artist and her entire company was based on a lie.
Only a fool feels sorry for her; she needs to be in prison busting rocks under the hot sun.

It is interesting that the DARPA/Hedge fund grift called Moderna was being talked about in the popular press as 'the next Theranos' when Covid 'came along' and Bancel ended up rich AF instead of slow walking to a prison sentence like Holmes.
You need Security State connections to have a chance to pull off this kind of Con. If Liz could have survived a little longer she could have jumped on board the Covid $$$ train and made some kind Covid Test scam pay and that would have protected her from any possibility of prosecution.

Complete fraud. Her, the vaporware, all of it.

It was a trivial proposal. Obvious, not something unique. She was able to pull it off because she was attractive and had the Stanford dropout thing going on. Also the Steve Jobs look. The big names she attracted to the board is once again proof that many of the “elites" are morons. She is a psychopath, even to this day, having kids as a gambit to stay out of prison.

So if we send her to prison, what do we do about the executives behind the totally fake Covid tests?????

Funny...nobody's gonna do anything there.

I know of the story, but let's be real here, I can't fucking read one massive block paragraph. Maybe it's the anxiety in me but does it piss anyone else off?

(See how easy this is)

I don't mind reading long posts/comments, but please god dammit put some paragraph breaks in there. Looks like there was supposed to be. I'm no speed reader, but I can look at smaller blocks of text and read the whole thing at once basically. I'm not even going to read the post...
