Where is the line between grossly exaggerating ones product and criminal fraud drawn?

Personally I view things where you give someone a false health diagnosis to be among the most egregious deceptions possible, a step beyond running a Ponzi scheme and in line with other things where users are severely hurt or killed.

I will be very surprised if Elizabeth hasn’t crossed the line over to fraud at some point. She is pulling down some very well connected people - she had better like orange.

No doubt Henry Kissinger will pull some strings and get a closet full of orange turtlenecks delivered to her in the big house.

I'm not even sure it's her fault or the fools who gave a 20 year old billions of dollars to startup a healthcare company. What could go wrong?

It should be pointed out that she never got billions of dollars to start Theranos.

She was 21 or so when Theranos got a $5.8m A round. She's now 31.
