Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes blasts ex-boyfriend

[Tomconroy]

in her last day on the witness stand. Apparently the defense rested today.
It's a pretty leisurely trial. Her cross examination was interrupted by something like a five day break. Now final arguments are scheduled for Dec. 16. Usually judges like to hurry things along. Not this one.
Well, the defense seems to be her saying she didn't intend to be a fraudster. We'll see how it played, I assume before the holiday.

1. They both need long prison sentences.

2. I think the rule of thumb is, white privilege gets revoked if you stole money

from other richer white people. I expect she will goto jail.

3. So the rules are:

Comedy: punch up
Fraud: punch down

4. She's not the victim, she's the defendant

And very, very a likely guilty one. It bothers me this playing victim on the stand. She lied repeatedly for years. And committed fraud blatantly and gleefully.

5. For more than 50 years women fought to show that they are independent, smart and able to run their

own companies without the support or aid of a man. Thank you.

And now a supposedly successful entrepreneur, who earned the support and money from notable leaders now blames.... her boyfriend? She was afraid of him?

Regardless of the outcome, her testimony will hurt the ability of other bright, resourceful women to start a business and to raise funds.

6. I Feel The Same

I suspect, having read the book on this situation, that it's really they only defense she's got. Not that that makes me like it any better.

8. Supposedly they were going to have an expert testify about abuse but never called one.
