I wonder if she stole a bunch of money and it will appear in the Panama Papers part 2. I heard no Americans were in the first set of releases. No way not one single American was in those files.
Zerohedge had an article saying that the US has its own places to hide dirty money, so now all our corporate oligarchs don't have to hide money offshore. It further speculated that the release of the Panama papers was banking espionage to increase demand of American banks. No idea if it's true or not, but it makes some sense.

She seems to have gained a lot of weight. Maybe she ate all the bungled blood samples to protect them from falling into FDA's hands?

Perhaps Theranos should be hiring NASA test pilots?

What are the odds of getting the pussy pass if she gets charged?
Even better, since it's likely she won't get charged because misogyny and all, will she get rewarded with another high profile gig? Or does she fade into obscurity?

Direct result of Wall St flooding the valley with money looking for the next Facebook or Google. It puts a stain on the whole scene there, and exposes it for what it is now; there is no religion left in Silicon Valley. You now have hyper motivated preppy douchebag test takers flocking there to score a lottery ticket, not the brilliant hippie escapists who left the East Coast to go and invent and create at Stanford in the sunshine. Those brilliant hippies created for the sake of building something new and great, not purely motivated by growth or profit. I would even put Larry Ellison in that bucket, and Zuckerberg. Those days are over, and I would say Silicon Valley is a place to be avoided for any new graduate, unless you want to be a corporate robot at the big firms, or end up working for a maniacal fraud like this bimbo.

It isn't even Wall St, it's Silicon Valley angel investors like Tim Draper, who gave her the first chunk of change to get it started. His daughter was a childhood pal of Holmes, apparently.
If she got the chance to take Theranos public, Wall St would have been all over it. And it would have created the opportunity for the short sell of the century, had people paid attention to the alarming absence of fundamentals.
most of those angels and VC's are influenced by or come from wall street
My understanding is that all recent funding for Theranos came from private equity (dumber money) rather than venture capital. For example,
CrunchBase shows that 80% of all Theranos funding was from PE. The rumor mill says that Silicon Valley VC's smelled something was off with Holmes and Theranos and haven't touched the company since 2010.
I can't have sex with your personality, and I can't put my penis in your college degree, and I can't shove my fist in your childhood dreams, so why are you sharing all this information with me?

^^^
That's why being a blue pill male in any competitive business environment is a terrible idea. You're liable to make terrible decisions just because you want to bang a salesperson or you're so desperate for approval that you will hop onto stupid ideas for no other reason that they're popular.
Would Trump have bought into something like that just because everyone else loved it or because the CEO is a skinny blonde?
Trump would not have. Be like Trump.
