Be that as it may, I was addressing the curious "if it was my fault, then it wasn't a scam" logic.

If scamming isn't scamming when you to it to clueless investors, does that mean Elizabeth Holmes should be a free woman? The people she scammed didn't do any due diligence, but that doesn't make her scam any less a scam.

Elizabeth Holmes falsified data and made false representations. That is a scam. Buying a machine that turns out to not do what you need it to do is not a scam.
