Re: In case you care about the Theranos stuff still
That's all guys? Is this gonna be forgotten? I feel like I watched a movie where they forgot to shoot the remaining 50 percent. WTF is going on?

It's dead, Jim.
(They're citing a Wall Street Journal story, but it's paywalled.)

@Parody Are they going to prison or not?

The case against Holmes is still pending. The company already settled.
-
@Parody The suspense is killing me.
-
@stillwater Well, check back in a year or two.
-
@Parody Are you fucking serious? It's gonna take that long? I have no idea about how the Justice system works in the US so I don't even know if you're joking or serious. Fuckin hell.

@stillwater White-collar crime… takes time. Or something.
-
@stillwater As mentioned, it's white collar. My guess is that it'll be a year before they come to a plea agreement of some kind.

@kazitor That's actually pretty neat. She should have pulled it off here in India. With the legal system being a joke and nobody understanding anything remotely tech related, she would have done fine. In the event she got caught, she would have still have a good 10 to 20 years before going to a prison where you can live comfortably.
I'd like to pull off a theranos someday maybe not something that involves people's lives but theranos-ing seems far more appealing than fixing bugs and wanking off to legacy code all day.
-
@Parody Alright then. Time to look for theranos like stories elsewhere I guess.

True; the lawyers are getting paid regardless as this is a criminal case, not a civil suit. The case actually proceeded a bit this past week: they had a hearing where the court granted a continuance until late April.
If they go to prison at all, it'll probably be at the "minimum-security Federal country club" level anyway.
