Did she kill anybody? I wasn't aware that a hospital full of children died because Theranos was doing different lab tests than they said they were.
I really just can't find myself caring about some millionaires scamming some billionaires. VCs get robbed like this all the time. Especially the ones with more money than brains. And I'm also not going to lose any sleep if she gets 5 years instead of 100. This has been kind of a fun news story to follow the last few years but really I think most of the outrage here is because the particular demographic of this website doesn't really like women like this.
- rtpg 5y agoYou should read bad blood. There are interviews with people who had disorders and theranos blood tests gave false negatives thanks to that, delaying treatment for a long while. I don’t know about everyone but it’s reallllly hard to find sympathy for somebody who plays fast and loose with peoples health like this. She wasn’t an arms manufacturer but I don’t really see the sympathy angle here (especially considering how much institutional support she had throughout the controversy)

- coldtea 5y agoIt's ok that people got duped then with what they knew. But you seem to want to still be duped now, as if Theranos still represents some noble promise...
