Well, you can fuck right off, you coliform spewer.
Oh, and welcome to the Straight Dope!

It’s certainly not long-lived newbie behavior. I wager no quatloos on this newcomer. On the mods, OTOH, I’ll go quatloos all-in.
My point was a newbie doesn’t do that. (It’s an obvious sock, or specifically a trock.)
Diane Downs did that.
Honestly, not a whole different scenario, in the long run.
Or it’s just a random ass who’s found another random messageboard to spew anger & hate into.
I actually expect you’re right; our profile out in the world is not so large that random folks show up every day for the questionable fun of being laughed at and banned. Like it or not, we have a much larger population of banned former members than we do of soon to be new members who haven’t noticed us yet but will soon.
Yeah, I think her high-profile backers resent being shown up as dupes and have distanced themselves from her.
She absolutely timed her pregnancy to coincide with her trial and to use her infant to either get off or stay out of jail.
I’d guess she also timed her marriage that way.

What’s a trock?

I’m guessing troll-sock.
I hold no brief for Elizabeth Holmes but the historian in me is kind of intrigued to see this modern instance of the venerable ploy of pleading the belly , a provision in English common law that allowed female felons in the later stages of pregnancy to defer their capital punishment until after they’d given birth.
I immediately thought of Mary Read and Anne Bonny who both plead their bellies during their trials for piracy.
I’m not sure how useful your advice is. Someone’s first post is to go to the Pit and insult posters? That’s not legit newbie behavior.
It is sometimes. Some people get a burr under their saddle about a certain celebrity/news item, Google turns up a thread on some message board and they give their rant there never to be seen again.
I’m wondering who was stupid enough to stick his dick in the crazy.
I’ve wondered that too. It’s hard to imagine any rational person wanting to mate with her; even a scheming pragmatist looking for money would surely realize her personal wealth over the long term is far from guaranteed. I worry about the child no matter what.

Why should only women fall in love with felons?
The guy she married is the heir to a family that owns hotels in California.
That certainly answers the question I asked.
I could imagine two particularly narcissistic psychopaths marrying each other. Each fully convinced they’re going to take the other to the cleaners, both financially and emotionally / psychologically.
In fact I’d like to encourage such matings; it’ll save two ordinary people one hell of a lot of grief.
Here’s a non-paywalled article about the then-fiancé / now-husband
All we know about her (reported) fiancé.
From that article
After graduating from MIT, Evans reportedly tried to launch a healthcare startup for transporting wealthy Chinese people to the US for “concierge medical attention.” Although he studied Chinese in college, Evans wasn’t fluent in the language, and the idea never took off.
Evans then moved to Luminar Technologies, a startup working on radar and sensor technology for autonomous cars. His LinkedIn says he was a manager of special projects, but employees told the Post he was fond of “wandering around with absolute purpose, but no one knew what that purpose was.”
The next line about him acting like a secret police for the CEO
Evans was reportedly close with Luminar’s CEO, Austin Russell. He acted as Russell’s “secret police” who would “strut around the office and tell people what to do,” the Post reports.
True love!

Crazy is like a roller-coaster. Fun to ride but ya gotta know when to get off.

“The thing about a shark, it’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When it comes at you it doesn’t seem to be livin’.”
Current pictures of her aren’t nearly as freaky. Once she dropped the clown makeup, she’s a perfectly ordinary-looking woman, well within the bounds of conventional standards of attractiveness.
I don’t know if the freak-show look was part of her con, or if the look was really her, and the current much more natural look is the con.
Who knows… I wonder if she even knows…
