THATS WHY I TRUST NIGERIANS


THEY WILL NEVER GIVE U MONEY WITHOUT GIVING THEM PROOF OF WHAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR...

You mean like MMM

cherriex:


You sure know what you are saying, I saw only a few enlightened one's on this thread, a lot are educated but have minimal knowledge on how the world runs, from economy, inventions, inventors, rise and falls, politics and all, some have no idea, how moguls, cabals and even the FBI/CIA works, too many complicated conspiracies.if they plot your downfall,be it an individual, country and sect, consider yourself down, maybe she refused to play by the rules.

Thats how they roll. You know as e dey be.

Big thieves don't carry gun, pen and files is their weapon of mass destruction

Kinjikitile:

I don't get it .. she had all the money ,, she could have researched more to get the machine
Money is the only thing needed to get a technology ...

Because there is money doesn't mean that an invention would occur. Despite the tons of cash given to the research of HIV, why is there no cure for AIDS?

killercute16:
The biggest thieves wear suit and carry no weapons

Well said!

TechCapon:
many startups that fail are not sham startups. Technology is a thing of trial and error and many new technologies fail even from established companies

Let's assume that when she started, she had good intentions and thought she had everything figured out. On knowing that things didn't work out as planned, she should have opened up. Opening up was going to be hard given that she was going to lose her great tempting wealth and she couldn't stand the fact that her dropping out of school and dreams of being like Steve Jobs were all for nothing. Gosh! I wouldn't want to be her right now.

Waiting for the Hollywood movie of her

I almost cannot believe this. I swear this was my idea. I have it documented and kept very safe. I named it PROJECT DOCTOROID. I cant expose any more but am shocked to see this. This is wow. I'm speechless.

Can I invest in your business?

Martinez19:
Can I invest in your business?

I will be delighted sir.

Lamb101:

I will be delighted sir.

You may joke about it but it will soon be sponsored. The government have shown interest but Im not comfortable yet. Keep it up.

She crashed from a net worth of $4.5 billion to $0. The sad story of Elizabeth Holmes, female tech billionaire who went from grace to grass. Now she faces 20 years in prison.

The name Elizabeth Holmes might not really ring a bell especially to those outside the United States. But trust me, she was almost as popular and influential as Steve Jobs. Everyone called her the “female Steve Jobs” and she began wearing black turtleneck sweaters just like Steve Jobs. She succeeded in pulling off the biggest fraud ever in the history of Silicon Valley. A crime that would have given her the death penalty if she were in China. Let’s look at how this promising young “visionary” tech billionaire made it to the top until it all came crashing down.



Elizabeth Holmes was a school dropout at Stanford University. Before that, she had come up with a great idea that would change medical tests forever. Her idea was simple, a small machine that can run many blood tests with just a drop of blood and do it much cheaper than the normal cost. With a single drop of blood, she said she could detect medical conditions such as cancer and so on. She was so convinced that her idea would succeed that she had to drop out of Stanford University and start her company. At just 19 years old, she launched her company called Theranos, a company that would change the world of medical science. She was always driving around with bodyguards and expensive black Audi cars.



ELIZABETH HOLMES



Then she began to source for funds from influential billionaires such as Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, Rupert Murdoch, and many others. She raised billions of dollars by convincing them that she has the technology to make it work. They all gave her lots and lots of money. Elizabeth Holmes began to attract lots of attention from the media. Forbes estimated her net worth to be over $4.5 billion, making her the richest self-made female billionaire in America. Her company Theranos was worth over $9 billion. She was named one of the most influential women in the world by Fortune magazine. She even employed her boyfriend and made him the president of the company and second in command.

Incredible!

Nbote:
How she was able to pull off dis scale of fraud with d public eye on her still baffles me.. She was using bottom power jare.. Becos it's obviously only bottom power dan can make a man not use his brain well

so the biggest male fraudsters in history also used bottom power abi

she obviously used something greater which has been proven over time by conmen to work on even the smartest people-
Appealing to the inner greed of people.

These rich men are the biggest con artist but its also easy to scam someone when he feels he is untouchable.
Pride goeth before a fall.

TechCapon:
her intention was pure no doubt. The problem was that when it wasn't working, she should have said the truth instead of telling endless lies to cover it up.

Do you know how many billionaires who have gotten away with such things

she was probably just among the few unlucky ones. Maybe she didn't settle or silence the right people or took certain people for granted like the story of Barry minkow.

you're right. Barry minkow is a serial fraudster. He's already in prison. I don't think it's easy to walk away from a fraud of this magnitude

...and people say yahoo boys are bad.

dominique:
How come she was given only 20 years in jail while the ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff was given over 100 years? Her crime was greater imo. Not only did she swindle investors, she also endangered lives as well. She should have been sentenced to at least 50 years in prison

Benefit of being a lady

I remember reading about this woman then.

ITbomb:
I would like hear from her first.

For reputable investors to stake money means there were initial successes.

Maybe she stepped on the wrong toes and powerful forced brought her to her knees

Never underestimate western media when they want to pull you down at all cost

Techcapon didn't carry out the investigation, he just reported what he saw from the media

Her work was threatening an entire industry
Of course the "powers that be" would want to pull the rug off her feet
