there's a long line of line of listed CEOs whove bsd to markets at some time or other - faking it to make it. the point about Theranos is to show that some company CEOs are willing to maintain a confected corporate lie forever

even if you are fact immune and want to slate all of the misdirectiosn down to bad luck - i think you have to ask yourself if you want to invest in a guy who so repeatedly failed to accurately assess forward outcomes. thats why i said to use the post 30 june pop to get out.

All while hiding it from prying eyes, Kissinger was invested.
Sounds like a few things happening at Buddy, but he will try hard. So you never know one venture might pay off.
