After going through one pregnancy she gave up on this stalling tactic. Must have looked at the baby and figured children weren't worth the ROI.

  ? She gave birth like a month ago. It's not even physically possible to be pregnant again in that time frame.

    if you lend her $100million she'll tell you how she did it!

      It's OK to be critical of Theranos but I think it's pretty bad to criticize a woman for deciding to have a child.

        maybe she got the pregnancy tests from theranos

        > but I think it's pretty bad to criticize a woman for deciding to have a child. Why? I think you shouldn't criticize the child itself but if the woman is bringing it into this world for a nefarious reason like likely playing for a jury's sympathy during a trial, revenge, exploiting immigration loopholes or blackmail. Why shouldn't she be criticized over it? It usually also means that the child will be neglected, in one form or another, after it served its purpose. Have you ever met a real-life sociopath? I have. Holmes appears a like bona-fide sociopath trying every dirty trick to manipulate her surroundings, playing the "poor woman" card to weasel out of a harsh sentence.

This case is wildly embarrassing to a huge number of elites including some of the largest funders in the VC world: Tim Draper of Draper Fisher Jurvetson, former secretary of defense Jim Mattis, the most important democratic power broker David Boies of Boies Schiller Flexner (who almost certainly has criminal liability that was ignored) and on and on. This case wouldn't be prosecuted at all if not for the public scrutiny. The question left largely unanswered was what favors did elizabeth exchange with these old powerful men to get them to first invest and then to become unnindicted coconspirators in her schemes.

  Oh god. I hadn't thought of this. Really hoping this doesn't go full Weinstein.
