I think the meme is good either way. I think we’ll eventually have the capability to do such testing simply and quickly, and she’ll still be a loser for having lied about it and scammed people.

ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 5 days agoActually the scam was that the machine was able to do it from a pinprick blood sample. The idea was that you would take the blood sample yourself, directly at the pharmacy. No doctor appointment and nurse needed. That’s why the idea was valued at billions.
And she looks funny in this picture so I 100% stand behind this meme.

Let me be more precise: the Defrauding Of Investors for which she was convicted in Court was that her company was getting people’s blood samples and claiming to be analyzing them on their own special machines, whilst in reality they were sending those samples to labs to be analyzed in the traditional way and their machines never worked.
Maybe amongst her various claims she made one as you said (frankly, I don’t remember anymore), but that was not what landed her in jail.
I supposed one could say both things were part of her con.
