Right, and that fell apart with, well, many things, but the one that stands out to me - upcoming FDA inspection, and Holmes (in something out of a cartoon) literally had someone put a filing cabinet in front of the door to the lab where they were doing actual work to hide it, and direct inspectors to a faked up lab, i.e. outright fraud and deception.
- rsynnott 3y agoShe wasn't convicted of... whatever that was (extremely low-effort obstruction of justice?), though, she was convicted of defrauding her investors. Notably, she got off on the charges of defrauding her customers, for, truly, it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get in trouble for injuring the general public.
