[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s interesting is that the author fell for her. She knew it was all fake, but Holmes is one of those people who can captivate an audience [/quote]

None of it is fake. People are complex, that's all. Elizabeth Holmes did her best to attract investments (Steve Jobs turtlenecks, etc), which was very business savvy. She then lied to investors and went entirely over the legal line. It doesn't mean she does not have a motherly side.

I find this entire discussion to be actually very demeaning to women in high-powered careers:[b] they need to project a certain way at work. [/b]aThen they go home and enjoy a warmer aspect of their personality with their kids. It's entirely NORMAL.

But here this article, and this discussion, will associate such a dichotomy with criminality and possible psychopathy. It's incredibly damaging to working women to question why they behave differently at work than at home with their kids. Because essentially, this is what OP and the author are trying to do.
Have articles been written about males behaving differently at work and with their kids? Whether or not they are criminals? NO!

You can criticize this woman all you want for her crimes. But don't claim that just because you're seeing another side of her now, it's all put on and fake.

You seem confused.  You can present professionally at work, climb the corporate ladder, and what have you, without being a pathological liar, committing fraud, and hurting innocent people.  You can be a pathological liar and narcissist and also love your own children--this is the dichotomy of Liz Holmes.[/quote]

Exactly - she didn't defraud poor idiots or middle class POC. She had the audacity to rip off rich white dudes and did it whilst being young and fairly good looking. She should be sent to the guillotine, toute de suite. [/quote]

While this is all true, her real crime is faking a blood testing machine with the potential impact to give people inaccurate test results.  People might inadvertently spread communicable diseases like HIV and hep or not seek needed treatment.  [/quote] But they didn't -the checks and balances of the system worked - it never went to market. No one except the investors were injured. [/quote]
