She’s in trouble, but she’s also in love: Elizabeth Holmes, the indicted founder of the bogus blood-testing company Theranos, has gotten engaged to William “Billy’’ Evans, the heir to a hotel chain, according to multiple reports.

Holmes, 35, is facing up to 20 years prison on accusations that she swindled investors out of hundreds of million of dollars.

Her 27-year-old fiancé is the former manager of special projects for Luminar Technologies, which develops sensors for driverless cars. He had also worked at LinkedIn.

Theranos went belly up after its claims of having developed a device that could quickly diagnose multiple illnesses based on a tiny amount of blood were proven to be phony.

The ugly story is the subject of a series on HBO and a movie starring Jennifer Lawrence.

1. And so the story goes on. I thought she was done.

[Nay]

5. Con artists like her always seem to land on their feet somehow. It's baffling and irritating.

Of course, she's blonde (dyed, but it still works for her), slim, has big blue eyes, and wears black, so the guys come running as if they are Pavlov's dogs. Not even that weird fake voice alerted them that something might be, ahem, amiss.

I read the book about her company; one of the big male investors had a relative who worked for Theranos. This relative called him up and begged him NOT to invest in Theranos because it was all faked. Not even eyewitness evidence from a relative kept the investor away.

9. Was that George Shultz's grandson?

[Nay]

11. I don't remember -- I read the book last year. But that really stood out for me. What kind

of influence would cause a usually-canny investor to ignore evidence from a blood relative who actually worked at Theranos?

Baffling and irritating.

12. Yes. And his greedy ass grandfather chose to believe the

fraudster over his own grandkid.

4. That fake voice was what was creepy.

What a nutcase.

6. she struck me as a sociopath/narcissist.

There is something seriously wrong with her.

[Tipperary]

7. I agree.

3. Good for her

wonder how that relationship will work out when she is incarcerated?

8. No man in his right mind is going anywhere near that

I don't care how much he gets off on doing mentally deranged women...

What *REALLY* happened is dude wanted to date a Hollywood hottie, ran into Holmes at a party, and mistakenly assumed she was Jennifer Lawrence "in character"

And now that he knows the truth he's in way too deep to pull out now!
