Comment on Elizabeth Holmes Trial: Why Not Other Tech CEOs?parent

Not at all, I agree that she crossed the line but there are plenty of companies that raise money under false promises using a mockup. Even when they have a marketable product they continue to make the rosies of promises. Juicero is a good example. They raise millions to put out a product that was mainly useless. I'm sure the investors were totally surprised of the product the company produced. That's one that was a famous example but I'm sure there are plenty more that never made the headlines.

She went over the line and should be prosecuted given the harm she caused by putting out testing machines that did not work but there plenty of companies that come close to crossing the line onto fraud.
