I'm not entirely familiar with Theranos, but as far as I know, she only defrauded VCs - entities that are designed to take on risk (which can include Theranos-like fraud).

FTX defrauded average people, many of whom were lured by the big name ads, the friendships with Tom Brady, the marquee investors list.

Supporting that is deeply immoral.




Holmes defrauded many average people who thought they were getting medical tests with accurate results when in fact they were not.


Holmes "blood tests" were giving people useless results. This is LITERALLY putting lives in danger. She probably is guilty of the deaths of some unknown people, we'll never know. Holmes is just as sociopathic and despiclable as SBF, if not worse.
