The trial of Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos)[sentenced to 11+ yrs, 18Nov2022]

She bought a ticket to Mexico to attend a friend’s wedding. She claims it was in anticipation of being found not guilty. There was no disguise as far as I am aware. The judge said that that incident had nothing to do with his decision.

A one way ticket at that.

Could we trade Elizabeth Holmes to Russia for the reporter they arrested, Evan Gershkovich?

The Russkies must covet her nanotechnology skills.

She could use her biological brilliance to finally vindicate Lysenkoism!

Pretty late to that party, I’d say…

Well, baldifaced lies are sometimes referred to as “inventions”. I’ll give her that; she’s invented quite a lot of those.

Maybe I was conflating her efforts with Scott Peterson’s (as in, Laci Peterson). He had a disguise.

Wow, that was over 20 years ago!

Or maybe the woman who killed Mo Wilson? She changed her appearance while running around Costa Rica.

She was supposed to report to prison to tomorrow but an appeal will keep her free for another month. Same tactic that Sunny used that ultimately failed.

On the news they said Sunny Balwani did the same thing, and delayed his incarceration by a month.

That’s exactly what I said in the text above the link.

That will give Liz just enough time to get her new blood testing machine to work, vindicating her and demonstrating to the world just how wrong they all were about her!

Or, she’ll don a black wig and attempt to flee to Venezuela. Either way, it’ll be a staggering work of genius worthy of multiple biopics.

Q: How many times can one sell exclusive rights to the same story?
A: As many times as you can get away with.

Can your provide introductions? I love going to Inverness for the barbecued oysters.

My introductions to Deep Ones and their human cultists tend to come at several thousand feet per second, preferably at long range and high impact. I once made the mistake of trying to megotiate a truce with their kind, and as a result we had to immolate much of the South New Jersey seashore from Cape May up to Ludlam Island. Even then, their traces remain, and they have deep tendrils in the Atlantic City casino industry…

Request withdrawn. I didn’t think it would involve entities that evil.

And a song; “she take me money and run Venezuela.”

:musical_note:This here’s a story 'bout Lizzy Holmes and Sunny Boo
Two young lovers with nothing better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here’s what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, Sand Hill Road venture capital
That’s where they ran into a great big hassle
Lizzy Holmes winked at a man while robbing his ass off
Sunny Boo took the money and run

Go on, take the money and run :notes:

I think I see your mistake.

You don’t show up to a meeting of Cthulhu’s minions with your dick in your hand. You bring along sufficient hardware to bury R’lyeh under a hundred million tons of seabed silt and debris, or you stay home. The trick is getting ahold of a hydrogen bomb in 1932, but fortunately I have a Pulp Talent…
