I saw the picture before reading the text, and thought "oh no what has Elizabeth Holmes done now."

Your insistence on using the Darth Vader voice probably wasn't helping either.
Do not underestimate the power of the Dark Side...
I don't even know what the fuck this means.
In case it's any consolation, I came here to say largely the same thing, except that I was going to say I liked the poster's name.
Holmes scammed a lot of people while her whole wardrobe consisted of black turtlenecks
Scammed a lot people, where most were rich people. That's why she got thrown in jail.
FTFY
Probably true. But also millions of regular sick people going to Walgreens for blood tests used these devices and got BS results. Not just rich people were affected by this.
The hilarious thing was that she was actually acquitted of scamming patients. She was only convicted of scamming investors for claiming that patients could be treated using false tests.
Those patients had agreed to the terms by agreeing to the use of the test duh! 🙄
me every time I'm shaving my mustache under my nose.
We've all done it.
Bastard ruined it for us all
I just wanted to kiss Worf!
(I've actually never done it. Shaving is hard. I've always had a goatee, no facial hair, or full beard.)
Is... this a thing?
I know who that was, it just... came and went, didn't seem like anybody cared much.
Although I'm not American, maybe it was a bigger deal there?
Probably in American tech environments Everyone else has moved on lol
Yeah, it would have to be super niche spaces. I followed what was going on with her, but I never saw a picture of her I can remember. Seems weird to still know what she looks like lol
The black turtle neck was just a thing for Holmes. Idk if she wanted to be Jobs or what, but it was a definite thing. Plus there was a documentary about the whole scandal that WA’s moderately popular that reinforced the look.
Reading this in the voice of a 30-year smoker.
I say they should take it back. I've never met a blonde who looked bad in black.
What about a 300 pound blonde?
She didn't look bad either.
All you’re saying is that you’re happy to bang fatties as long as they are blonde.
Nothing wrong with that. You do you bro.
This woman could wear a trash bag and still look gorgeous, I bet. It's obvious she's more diligent about her health than I am about mine. Well done.
she's more diligent about her health
That or genes. It’s the genes.
You should try making lots of money by scamming people. It allows you to focus more on your health and the more you focus on your health and look better the more people trust you and the more you can scam them
In response to a similar comment about her appearance, Marilyn Monroe did an entire photo shoot in a ~~flower~~ potato sac.
That's a pretty shapely bag.
Trash bags are typically black, so.
I don't remember where the quote is from
"Do I look ugly in this dress?"
"Honey, you would be beautiful with nothing but a pot on your head"
Makeup, maybe.
Health?
Bet she tries to be a fruitarian with pancreatic cancer.
Well, I'm OOTL, apparently...
Woman started company that scammed rich investors instead of just the plebs so she got gaoled.
Also planned on scamming patients, but yes the reason she got bonked was because she fucked with the elites
DID scam patients, but there's no justice if you aren't 'worth' the police's effort.
google image search Elizabeth Holmes
Did she become Theranos in the latest movie or something? I think I'm still missing something.
While it sounds like a superhero-thing, theranos was a scam medical company.
And god forbid you have a cold making your voice lower
