She very much did have an association with the Clintons: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/14/11586966/theranos-ceo-elizabet...

Don't be too cynical, she was the crown jewel of the "Presidential Ambassadors for Global Entrepreneurship" for the Obama admin.

She had similarly connected political board members: https://news.crunchbase.com/health-wellness-biotech/theranos...

Henry Kissinger (former United States Secretary of State);

Jim Mattis (retired Marine Corps four-star general);

George Shultz (former United States Secretary of State);

Richard Kovacevich (former CEO of Wells Fargo);

William Perry (former United States Secretary of Defense);

William Foege (former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

She is like a little FTX in that sense.

But I don't believe the Clintons' are uniquely corrupt, rather just as corrupt as similarly powerful US politicians. I am not a believer if QAnon conspiracies.

It’s always a good thing when someone screws over Kissinger. She should get a pardon just for that.

She had connected investors who felt defrauded. That increased the odds of her getting convicted. If they thought there was still a chance of getting value out the odds would probably lean the other way.

I think if the system were as corrupt as you guys say, Holmes would have committed suicide or suffered some debilitating accident or something. Going to jail for just a few years doesn't feel like much of a dose of vengeance

That’s an escalation ad absurdism of what my actual opinion is about outcomes.

I don't share GP's cynicism, but I think the argument would be that none of those people are "similarly powerful" to the Clintons.

How Henry Kissinger's stock has fallen it seems...

He's still got nicer legs than Hitler, and bigger tits than Cher.

Put "-Dynasty" after all of them, and the only one that fits and has common use is "Clinton Dynasty"

If you're still hearing "Clinton Dynasty" these days, you're in a serious filter bubble.

The reach of the QAnon fantasies is pretty far reaching these days, even Hacker News isn't immune unfortunately.

She actually does. Check your facts.
