I don’t even know what the fuck this means.
Holmes scammed a lot of people while her whole wardrobe consisted of black turtlenecks
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.
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.
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.
Well, I’m OOTL, apparently…
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.
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.)
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.
And god forbid you have a cold making your voice lower
