    Okay, so you may, or may not have heard of Theranos. It was a company started by Elizabeth Holmes and had a $10 billion valuation at its peak. It imploded after the WSJ asked some rather basic questions about the company and its technology. A number of important/wealthy people were on the board like "Mad Dog" Mattis and Henry "I never met a genocide I didn't like to contribute to" Kissenger. FTX was once valued at $32 billion. The CEO of Theranos just got 135 months in prison and the judge wants to send her to a Texas prison camp. One has to wonder what the CEO of FTX is going to get when he's finally convicted.

    It’s a crossover, Elizabeth Holmes, Therenos, the “mad dog” (of Baskerville?).

    Is Binance.US next? Good grief, and to think they thought Robinhood was corrupt.
