> “Do you think Haemanthus intends to revolutionize health care, or do you think it’s another fraud?” Once again — neither. I think it’s just another chapter of her narrative.

This is fraud. We need far more accountability, and that means not letting people who have failed and lied about it "narrative" their way out of consequences. Elizabeth Holmes should not be allowed anywhere near healthcare ever again, and that does mean that even people who are merely close to her should be regarded with great scrutiny.

According to their "X" account, "Elizabeth Holmes has zero involvement in Haemanthus": https://xcancel.com/haemanthusinc/status/1921644626085024047...

I would assume that in a strict legal capacity that's probably true (for now at least). Although obviously she's "involved".

Is Haemanthus a fraud? Lets just say I think you'd be a right idiot to invest in this.

But I think this will be very hard to prevent legally. Even if Holmes and Evans are married (unclear if they are), it was only Holmes who was involved in Theranos' fraud and not Evans.

> should not be allowed

This is a weird thing to say about someone serving a decade long prison sentence

    Agreed. To me, this is the unusual case where individuals in corporations are actually punished. Most cases are way worse.

Elizabeth Holmes has an 11 year sentence and banned for life for building anything like Theranos again. Not sure what more accountability is necessary.

Unless you want to get involved in who she dates.

    So, what you're saying is that she's one stroke of the president's pen away from being back in the game?

    I think the going rate for them for white collar conmen is currently ~2 million.
