Have we forgotten about the fact that Theranos had to void two years of blood test results? People were eventually going to get hurt by this lie. There were real crimes committed here, with real consequences for the perpetrators. It sucks for her children that their mother was found guilty of her crimes, that's no ones fault but her own.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoThey said it was a tragedy, not that it wasn't her fault.
- lordfrito 4y agoFair enough... but to me the story of a bad actor getting their come-uppance isn't all that tragic, as there's justice at the end of the story. I suppose one could consider Elizabeth Holmes as a tragic character in her story. Tragic optimism leading to a web of lies and deceit?
- s1artibartfast 4y agoYeah, my life philosophy is that it tragic when bad things happen, and while justice is appropriate, but doesn't eliminate that. If someone commits murder and goes to jail, that isn't a happily ever after ending. It is sad that victim is dead. It is sad that the murderer is suffering. It is sad that murderer was a fucked up person to begin with. That is not to say they shouldn't be in prison, just that whole situation sucks and the world would be better off if it never happened.
