Holmes scammed a lot of people while her whole wardrobe consisted of black turtlenecks

Scammed a lot people, where most were rich people. That's why she got thrown in jail.

FTFY

Probably true. But also millions of regular sick people going to Walgreens for blood tests used these devices and got BS results. Not just rich people were affected by this.

Those patients had agreed to the terms by agreeing to the use of the test duh! 🙄
