She just happened to piss off important people, like the grandson of George Schultz who was working for her, that called his buddy in WSJ. What she did (fake it till you make it) is very common, but she didn't understand the flip side of having real American establishment on her board- she myopically only saw the upside, like an entrepreneur probably should .

I cant figure out why this comment is so heavily downvoted. Its neither reactive nor innacurate. Can someone elaborate?

It seems to excuses her fraud in a roundabout way.

She's not just a random entreprenuer. Medical startups need to be held to a higher standard than average tech companies and the punishment for fraud that puts patients at risk should be as harsh as possible.

Fraud == Fraud Medical or otherwise. Hold everyone to the same standards.

I disagree. Fraud in popcorn production != Fraud in heart pacemakers.
