If you added those names to elicit more sympathy for the defrauded investors, you're not exactly succeeding so far. You could throw in Henry Kissinger as well, and I still wouldn't feel particularly sorry for them…
- jessaustin 5y agoIs there any way that some of those investors/board members could get some federal prison time? Just like, you know, for justice?!
- boeingUH60 5y agoI added them to put things in context and refute the statement that Holmes’s situation was about Betsy Devos pulling strings. I couldn’t care less or sympathize with billionaires who have already made back magnitudes of the money they lost on Theranos with other investments. For example, Larry is up $14 billion(!) on a $1 billion investment in Tesla in 2018. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/larry-ellison-oracle-tesla-stock-price-gain-rich-list-billionaires-2021-12 https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/larry-elliso...
- microtherion 5y agoYes, I understand, it was just that the list was not just populated with run-of-the-mill meh billionaires, these are some of the least popular (at least in certain circles) billionaires one could pick (Nighttime noise disturbances — destroying small businesses - facilitating genocide — they really cover a wide portfolio). If Holmes had decided to reinvent herself as a Robin Hood figure, she might be feted in Jacobin by now.
