She didn't break any criminal laws... just civil contract laws. Civil contracts can be remedied through torts, but since she's got no money there's nothing to sue.

I loved it when they managed to sneak in a jab at Theranos into the last episode of Silicon Valley!

Quote:“This is fraud,” Jared, Pied Piper’s head of business development, tells Richard. Richard comes back with one hell of a burn. “Is it? I mean, our platform does exactly what it says it does. It’s not like we’re lying about it, like fucking Theranos,” he says.

Meanwhile that jackass VC Tim Draper is still defending her, and someone is making a movie about Theranos, with Jennifer Lawrence set to star as Holmes.

Have to wonder how many times the script had to be edited along the way. Holmes is barely clinging to life as CEO while she awaits the unlikely to succeed appeal of her ban.

The scary thing is I'm seeing the same lack of due diligence exhibited in the Theranos story, the "narrative first, facts later" method, applied to the US military. The SECDEF is stuffing political correctness down their throats by mandating women in the infantry, transexuals be permitted to serve and more women "graduate" elite and difficult training such as Army Ranger school under completely watered down standards. What Theranos meant in terms of health care risk, PC policies in the military mean the same to defense readiness.

On which other companies he is in the board of directors ?

Can we find out somehow ?

I wonder what would have happened if Theranos IPO'd and then this would have appeared.

Damn.

No way theranos could have ipo'd. IPO = intense scrutiny. The whole house of cards would've folded instantly.

what monthly salary did Elizabeth Holmes cash in during her reign ?

Quote:With bunk blood tests and medical equipment, possible federal sanctions, a criminal probe, voided patient reports, and possible class action lawsuits, Theranos has taken quite the hit.

On Wednesday, Forbes put dollar values to that hit. The business magazine reported that the company’s valuation—based on “a dozen venture capitalists, analysts and industry experts”—has been downgraded from its $9 billion estimate 2014 to just $800 million now. And because Forbes’ valuation of Theranos CEO and founder, Elizabeth Holmes, was based solely on her 50 percent stake in the company, their estimate of her net worth dropped from $4.5 billion to “nothing.”

In 2015, Forbes ranked Holmes the number one self-made woman in America.

In a statement, Theranos spokesperson Brooke Buchanan fired back at the new valuations, saying: “As a privately held company, we declined to share confidential information with Forbes. As a result, the article was based exclusively on speculation and press reports.”

Forbes gave three reasons that Theranos has lost value: too many questions about its work remain; it’s have failed to deliver data on its tests and machines; and it’s unlikely to outdo its competitors.

“Given the difficulties at Theranos,” Forbes concluded that “Holmes falls off the list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women and off all of FORBES’ other wealth lists.”

Tomorrow she's facing 1000 scientific peers, but given her history, I think calling her a scientist is insulting to her "peers". I expect a public lashing to follow. This woman's arrogance and secrecy will be her undoing. She tried to play in the men's pool and ended up drowning.

Wait, if theranos is worth 800M and she owns half, then isn't her net worth 400M?

Probably because of preferred shares. The investors will get the money back first during liquidation. I'm sure has millions chiseled away in different assets but it's the job of the courts to get all that back.

So all her "networth" of 9 Billions was based solely on Elizabeth Holmes making fraudulent claims, backed by nothing

If you read the whole article, you'll see she didn't get into her failed product, but instead tried to deflect her critics by presenting a robot!

So PR publicity stunt after PR publicity stunt after PR publicity stunt.

No science, no products, just PR stunts one after another...

Quote:While Holmes did present some data on the success of its diagnostic tests, the presentation—which was not peer-reviewed—reportedly left many unsatisfied. Addressing Theranos’s previous claims to be able to run dozens of different tests on a single drop of blood, moderator Stephen Master told Holmes, “the evidence you presented fell far short,” Business Insider reports. The crowd applauded.

Haha called out by the moderator..

Quote:Much of the blood-testing data Holmes unveiled during her 90-minute presentation was based on traditional methods, not the promised single-drop method that Theranos previously touted as revolutionary. “We're pleased to share our technologies with the entire laboratory industry. It’s the beginning of the next phase of the company, as we introduce our technologies to the world. We also will be working with academic institutions and other independent parties to validate and publish our results," Holmes said in a statement. “The results we've presented demonstrate the inventions behind, and some of the analytical performance capabilities of, the miniLab system,” she continued, adding that Theranos hopes to receive F.D.A. approval “in the coming years.”

Still trying to hustle the audience with a bait and switch. Showing a standard conventional test and then claiming to be developing something "revolutionary."

It's like showing up in your shit box and then claiming that you left your luxury supercar parked in the garage because you were "working" on it.

It is amazing to me how bad the hamster is in the corporate environment. Women can have their hamsters indulged in the dating market because there are lots of simp "men" who will gladly allow it. But in the board room, you have to perform on men's terms, clearly something that Holmes isn't able to do. These are the type of women who watch a Hollywood film about women and science (paging Ghostbusters!) and think, hey, if the boys can do it, so can I! Not once do they stop and think, hey, it is the smartest of the smart men that do amazing science in real life. 32 years old, her company in shambles, impending investigations, her reputation bust, no relationship, and a barren womb. This woman seriously needs to be on a suicide watch and placed in a mental institution.

I couldn't disagree more. Why stop some useless cunt from killing herself for the dubious benefit of then having to fund her institutionalization?

Her speech at this conference was supposed to attempt to clear the air to a large group of scientists and investors. Instead, they were treated to a product launch.

From how she acts to how she dresses, it's so obvious she's dying to be the dyke Steve Jobs. A three-legged race horse would have a better shot at winning the Preakness.

To make an example out of her to prevent other women from trying stunts like this. Keep in mind that most women don't go through with suicide and those who are truly mad in the head end up on pills or the like anyways.
