(NEWSER) Elizabeth Holmes is facing serious prison time over the fraud scandal that brought down her health startup Theranos. Now Bloomberg reports that the 36-year-old might make the surprise move of using what amounts to an insanity defense at her March trial.

For some reason I got hooked on this story, I guess mostly how crazy the whole thing is. I actually don't think she's crazy at all. The difference between her, Elon, Steve Jobs, zuckerberg, etc is that her technology never caught up with her ideas/marketing.
All of these celebrity CEO's have these outlandish world changing ideas, and they force people to come up with technology to meet them. None of them actually come up with it themselves. They sell an idea, raise money, and pay other people to do it.
Where she messed up was when they started falsifying results and methods.
If they would have come out and said, our tech isn't working yet, or anything else, I bet people would still be dumping investment money in. They rushed into the market too soon.
It's no different than buying stuff off an infomercial, claiming a pillow will give you the best sleep ever, or you can save a sinking ship with a magic can of pookie.
