What do you believe about the Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos Inc fiasco?
Elizabeth Holmes was stunningly beautiful, incredibly intelligent, an extraordinary business promoter . . . and she crashed and burned when she was banned for two years from participating in the pharmaceutical / laboratory testing industry. What do you believe about her claims, the public, and government reaction?

Maj Rob Drury
That was my question.

PO3 David Fries Maj Rob Drury - There are those who believe part of the reason she was extended so much cash and coddled up to the point the FDA was forced to go after her . . . was at least partially based on her looks and suspect behavior. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT Sandy Annala - Thank you for clarifying. The reason I asked was because if a male had made that exact same statement, there is a segment of the population that would accuse the poster of being insensitive at least or misogynist at worst.

Lol, talking about kicking them when they are down. She is alright!! And the article does say "was."

I find her stunningly beautiful too. It's called an opinion. It seems you have nothing positive to contribute thus you resort to criticize. Bummer.

Maj Rob Drury - I find her looks stunningly beautiful . . . and have heard many other women at biomedical investor conferences say far better and far worse about both her appearance and her personal character. My standards for attraction may differ from your standards . . . encompassing a range of perceptions of what makes her stunningly beautiful . . . and personally very very attractive. Warmest Regards, Sandy ;)
Great article 1LT Sandy Annala ! Over-promising, unsupported claims and and fiscally disingenuous - the point that highlights that CEOs / leaders should be the moral compass of their organization is spot on. There are organizations to check these companies when it comes to medical research, the FDA for instance in this case, but who is protecting us from Tech Startups or other non-regulated industries. Definite food for thought. Thanks for posting!!
