Genuinely curious. What law do you think she personally broke?
Lying to the media/public, though largely unethical, doesn't strike me as being illegal.
Piling back-breaking stress on an employee also doesn't strike me as illegal.
- SolarNet 10y ago> She lied blatantly about their blood-testing medical equipments which can potentially kill people with wrong testing results, I think is the only one which is actually crime and which she has already been punished for.
- maverick_iceman 10y agoExactly how was she punished? Are you talking about her ban from running a blood testing lab? I don't consider that a punishment, more like a rap in the knuckles. Consider that real people were hurt by her/Theranos's actions, people who were misdiagnosed and as a result given wrong medications.
- nullnilvoid 10y agoLying about medical equipments is like fraud. It is like selling snake-oil to patients.
- smallgovt 10y agoThough it may be "like" fraud, lying to the public/media is not criminal. So, if that's the charge, she should not be in jail. Perhaps she misrepresented facts to investors, but that seems extremely hard to prove to a criminal extent. Theranos may have also misrepresented facts to regulatory agencies. However, my guess is that the CEO of an organization that lies to a regulatory agency can't be held accountable to a criminal extent. Would be genuinely curious to hear a solid case for her to be put in prison backed by facts.
