Scumbags never change. Did her attorneys honestly think Holmes would balk at stiffing them when she already proved willing and able to shaft Theranos' investors

Scumbags never change. Did her attorneys honestly think Holmes would balk at stiffing them when she already proved willing and able to shaft Theranos' investors and employees?
- tomhoward 7y agoI'm sure she'd willingly pay them whatever it would take minimise her penalties, if she could. Occam's razor compels us to presume she's just broke.
- Porthos9K 7y agoFunny. Knowing her history, my razor pointed toward a proven lack of scruples.
- tomhoward 7y agoThe outcome is what matters in this case, far more than scruples. Presuming she wants to minimise her penalty, she will pay whatever it costs to make that happen. If she's not paying, it must surely be because she's broke, rather than out of some perverse thrill of screwing people over and also getting a more severe penalty.
- nordsieck 7y ago> If she's not paying, it must surely be because she's broke, rather than out of some perverse thrill of screwing people over and also getting a more severe penalty. Precisely. The "rational" time to screw the lawyers is once the trial is over, not before. * Not actually rational because life is a multi-round game.
