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

      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.

        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?

        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.

    I say they should take it back. I’ve never met a blonde who looked bad in black.

          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.

        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.

          DID scam patients, but there’s no justice if you aren’t ‘worth’ the police’s effort.
