Why do you think that young people are immune from doing bad things? From all accounts, it seems she was a a sociopath.
- Jamwinner 7y agoThis is the stomping grounds of young, 'soon to be rich' idealouges. The current world is dripping with what people who frequent this site have done wrong today. Sociopath is incorrect. We just no longer care about our peers, because it is fashionable, and Profitable.

- SamReidHughes 7y agoThe point is logically disconnected from the question of whether the business plan at age 19 was to sell fake blood tests.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoEven if someone genuinely is a sociopath, there is an argument to be made that if you are young enough, some portion of that is the fault of your parents. The older you get, the less sympathy people typically have for blaming your parents/childhood for stuff. But a lot of people are inclined to cut young people some slack based on the idea that something went wrong in their upbringing and they didn't really know better.
