The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.

I can’t even think of a time in history where someone was a huge piece of shit in America and “lost everything.” Maybe R Kelley, P Diddy, and Bill Cosby? But only for the time they spent in whatever rich guy jail they got to go to and then they were fine.
Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That’s 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.
But after that 11 years didn’t she come out of prison still rich?
She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.
I don’t think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.
I mean she stole from rich people so I hope she’s doing good
She married a hotel heir, she’s still doing fine.
And that just goes to show:
The only time rich people are held accountable in the US, is when they fuck with other rich people’s money.
The most bizarre part of the Theranos scandal is that any medical lab tech/scientist could have told you, right from the initial pitch, the entire thing was a massive scam. There was literally no reason to ever think this technology was feasible and a mountain of reasons it wasn’t.
Madoff died in a jail cell, that’s gotta count for something.
Yeah that’s cool and good. Same with Epstein.
Except he didn’t live long enough to rat anyone out. That’s the only downside to that story.
