Found the doc interesting. She's a smarter, more convincing version of Billy McFarland.

They gonna hire Kumail to play the Indian sidekick, right?

I watched it Monday. It was cool. I wouldn't judge her harshly if she was faking about a benign consumer product. But yeah, it was kinda fukked up shamming people about health/blood tests.
What happened with her fraud case?

The bytch used her position and powerful friends to attack anyone who didn't drink the kool-aid. The book pointed that out clearly.
That video just shows me us middle class suburbians can't dance and she was a blonde modern day charlatan.
How long would she have been allowed to continue if she could have kept raising money? How many people would have been hurt with false positives?
Again, how important was getting blood work in smaller doses anyway? She wasn't curing cancer or AIDS, she was just wowing people /investors with smoke and mirrors to the tune of $8 billion.
With her connections I don't see her serving a single day in prison.
I would love to be proven wrong though.

Yeah being a person of a certain class and race definitely made the sham possible no PoC or middle class poor person could even attempt to pull this off.

there was a link a on where she is now, but they must have got it up with a cease and desist order so I will make a quick summary

Elizabeth Holmes ended up hooking up with some healthcare tech heir and he propose to her, got pictures of them hugged up on his twitter page. She hiding somewhere in New England in a rich white liberal area

While Elizabeth Holmes was busy scamming the entire health-care tech industry (allegedly), she apparently found the time to get engaged! The 35-year-old Theranos founder is set to wed William "Billy" Evans.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Holmes's fiancé is the 27-year-old heir to the Evans Hotel Group, a collection of hotels in San Diego, California, founded by his grandparents. It's possible they bonded over their shared wealth or interest in tech, as Evans is an MIT grad who worked at Linked In, then Luminar Technologies, a driverless-car start-up. According to Linked In, Evans stopped working there in January—maybe to spend more time with his bride-to-be while he still can? Holmes is being charged with 11 criminal felony counts, including wire fraud and conspiracy, and could face jail time. Holmes has pleaded not guilty.
While Holmes is awaiting trial, the couple has been living large in a luxury apartment in San Francisco, according to Vanity Fair, and they even attended Burning Man together just days before Theranos employees were notified the company was officially shutting down. In their San Francisco home, they coparent Holmes's "wolf," Balto. As it turns out, Balto is actually just a Siberian husky.

Besides her extensive legal troubles, Holmes and Evans sound very happy together. She reportedly wears his M.I.T. signet ring on a necklace (a unique spin on the traditional engagement ring, perhaps?) and “the couple regularly post stories on Instagram professing their love for each other,” says Vanity Fair. Their accounts are private, but based on screenshots obtained by the magazine, they look blissfuly in love.
