    This is a guy who loses millions a year on the Post. He probably figured the evisceration she’d get was worth that $125 million writeoff.

    Sort of interesting of how (relatively) easy it was for him to unravel this, based on what I’ve read and heard. No trove of thousands of documents and really only three sources. Embarrassing some of these rich folks were tricked so easily. (And notable that there weren’t really many sophisticated investors who bought into to this.)

    Thought this was a misplaced spoiler thread for the second half of "Infinity War."
    Carry on.

    I stopped after the portrait with the kids on the rocks, ocean in background.

    Give me a fucking break.

    Turns out that being the ultimate Hillary Clinton insider has a limited shelf life.

    One thing that should always merit mention when we talk about Elizabeth Holmes is that her father was a top executive at Enron. Grifting runs in the family.
