wait hold on i missed this

There was some chick, who went around saying she had a "nanotainer" while dressing like steve jobs and saying that her machine "performed a chemistry on the blood" and was going to replace all current blood testing equipment.... AND IT NEVER WORKED... and nobody ever checked and they gave her $9,000,0000,000

How the fuck does this happen people. Is she even going to go to prison? They say she's just getting a 500k fine

Hey faggots I have a nanotainer right here *points at croch* billion dollars plox?

This. She lied, but felt it was justified because it would all work out in the end. She was too much of a narcissist to ever realize she was a fraud (cf. Madoff, who knew exactly what he was).

yeah i guess it does not with me either, maybe the answer is that if you are like you or I you would never have the balls to lie like this.

But I just don't see how with a nine billion dollar valuation and machines that do not work... she would not see that it was going to come crashing down. She had no product. I don't know, i guess the answer is that if you were always squirreling away diamonds and dabloons the whole time while thinking everyone is a sucker in your mind and how you were going to gtfo with your riches... you would not be able to pull it off

Years ago I had a nurse say to me the the blood from your main veins is different than the blood in your capillaries and she didn't know how this could work..

Another VC-backed company that is an utter turd is uBeam. Perhaps not surprisingly, the founder is also a woman. She claims that the company will be able to transmit power wirelessly using ultrasound. The company has raised over $30M of VC money and the VCs are almost certain to lose their entire investment. One of the VCs is Mark Suster, who actually boasted that he had his technical team of MIT alumni vet out the technology.

Anyone with a reasonably good high school education could have figured out that uBeam would never be practical. While it is possible to transmit power wirelessly through ultrasound, there is no way to transmit it efficiently and safely. Meridith Perry's vision of having people sitting in a Starbucks having their phones and laptops wirelessly recharging is utter bullshit.
