I know there's video of her slipping up and using her real voice but it's brief.

Her dad was a VP at Enron. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

it's in the HBO documentary and it's on YouTube. She was on CNBC or some similar showI think and slipped into her regular female voice accidentally. It should be easy to find.

Her blood test fiasco was a cautionary tale on so many things wrong with our economy and society in general. Her adventures were melange of greed, hope, misplaced confidence and ignorance. Just another example of why you let technical subject matter expertise, not marketing hype drive an operation.

It wasn’t even her real voice. She chose to fake that...

How is she not locked up yet?

quote:
In February 2020, Holmes defense requested a federal court to drop all charges against her and her co-defendant Balwani. A Federal judge examined the charges and ruled that some charges should be dropped: since the Theranos blood tests were paid for by medical insurance companies, the patients were not deprived of any money or property. Prosecutors would hence not be allowed to argue that doctors and patients were fraud victims. However, the judge kept the 11 charges of wire fraud.

And who pays medical insurance companies? That's right, patients. Their rates will also go up due to fraud. Idiot judge with no common sense.

I wonder if she still uses the fake voice? I can't decide which would be more awkward: continuing to use a fake voice when everyone knows it's fake or reverting to your normal voice which would constantly remind people that you used to use a fake voice.
