Elizabeth Holmes Tries to Flee to Mexico

• 19:38Elizabeth Holmes sold fake blood-test devices to diabetics through her Theranos company and received only 11 years in prison.
• 20:06The 11-year sentence is insufficient to deter fraud—she gave people tests telling them they were fine when the machines didn't work.
• 20:44Prosecutors revealed Holmes booked a one-way flight to Mexico scheduled for January 26th with no return date planned.
• 21:10The government alerted Holmes's defense attorney about the Mexico trip, and the flight was canceled afterward.
• 21:46Tim jokes she was probably just going to see Mayan ruins and drink margaritas, not actually fleeing.
• 22:00Holmes exemplifies people who grew up believing 'just believe' motivational rhetoric and applied it to fraud—selling fake products while convinced she could will it into truth.
• 22:30There's a glazed, catatonic quality to Holmes's expression; she appears disconnected from reality.
