I feel the exact opposite. The investors that actually did their due diligence ran away from Theranos. I feel no sympathy for the investors that bought into it.

I feel the exact opposite. The investors that actually did their due diligence ran away from Theranos. I feel no sympathy for the investors that bought into it. I do however feel tremendous sympathy for the patients that received erroneous test results.

The question when it comes to fraud is whether Holmes intentionally deceived the defrauded party, and was that defrauded party harmed (again, I'm not a lawyer, just my understanding). With the investors that was clearly an unambiguous yes. With patients it's much more of a gray area on both the "intentionally" point and the "were they actually harmed" point.
