She got her seed money from her rich parents, and I'm guessing that they set her up with her initial investors as well given that one was the head of a major charity and one was high up in the state department.
So nepotism yes, but who were the suckers?
>>1438883
>success
kek. she defrauded investors for billions.
Two reasons
1) Modern investors think everything is going to be the next big tech explosion, so they buy into everything and hope something sticks.
2) Only one clinic was allowed to verify the Edison device, and it strangely verified the device, but then immediately cut ties with the company
This means they most likely bought a lot of people out.
The real question is whether Holmes was just retarded and this blew up on her or if she was the patsy all along.
>>1438903
I think it probably started as the former then became the latter when somebody big bought in and shilled it.
>>1438903
Probably not retarded. Just in over her head and didn't have the character to deal with it. Honestly the story of every failed leader I've ever worked with.

What I think happened
>She drops out of college and uses her college fund as seed money
>She thinks she'll be the next Bill Gates with her IP
>Initial investors show up
>They're convinced
>She slowly realizes that it doesn't work
>Covers it up
>Fails
>Someone investing finds out about it
>Blackmails her into pretending that it works
>Pays tester to shill it
>Buys in
>Uses her as a sock puppet for an epic pump and dump
>She's now a semi-rich patsy holding a bag as regulators and lawyers move in
The "You just gotta believe in yourself and be a self-starter" meme. I can do both but where's my opportunity to defraud thousands of investors?
>>1438985
desu if you had absolutely no morals you could go do it right now. all you have to do is lie out your ass and you'll always catch some fish. only if you don't mind being a low life piece of shit of course.
>>1438877
>That look in her eyes
Really? Nobody? It's ever so subtle, but she really looks like a deer caught in headlights.
>>1438995
Just a bit, yeah.
>>1438877
they really need to correct that image seeing as she's not a billionaire anymore. she may not even be a millionaire soon enough.
>>1439169
It's funnier that way. Look at the "MyIQ" logo on the side, along with "Education for all".
She hasn't coughed up any names, so whoever her group of investors who wanted to pump and dump were must scare her.
>>1439996
Is she a dude
>>1438889
Well, if she defrauded them, then surely is going to go jail now eh?
