Slammer Time
Elizabeth Holmes is heading to jail tomorrow May 20th. I appreciate the ‘finger pricking bad’ non-tech of Theranos and its bloody fraud has no immediate Bitcarnage relationship.
However, no sooner did SBF’s career dive than it drove headlines like: The Fall Of Crypto Exchange FTX Is 'Worse Than Theranos, Worse Than Madoff' As Federal Probes Mount, Former SEC Official Says (Yahoo).
