Good. They were playing games with people's lives. It is one thing to play startup when it is Uber for Dogs and puppy ended up not seeing its friends at the park that day, it is another thing to mess up blood test results.
If someone who got hurt can come forward and wants to press criminal charges, they should get all the support needed. I can understand mistakes happening, but lying and going forward after they knew was abhorent.
- Hondor 10y agoCareful, some/most(?) of the lawsuits aren't because of risking patient's lives. They're for things like defrauding investors. They're not somehow more guilty because they also happened to do some other wrong thing at the same time.
- rdtsc 10y agoI understand and saying maybe there should be some criminal investigations as well. Someone dying or getting injured is not out of the realm of possibility when they had known bad test results and continued anyway.
- x0x0 10y agoThe feds are issuing subpoenas as well, though this [1] appears to make it sound like they're interested in the misleading investors angle.
