@andhisband She and her Pakistani partner were the scammers. But investors should really check someone's credentials before putting billions into a company. She was a marketer who confused ideas for inventions.

@andhisband The media always gives positive coverage of bullshit ideas. See Solar Roadways, Waterseer, Fontus, Elon Musk and his absurd Hyperloop proposal. This woman was on the cover of Fortune magazine. It's ironic that they were describing her as the next Steve Jobs, when Jobs didn't actually engineer anything. He just marketed inventions built by engineers under him. Only he didn't propose things that were impossible.

It was the media and investors who promoted her. The media is easily fooled by unrealistic claims, which aren't backed up by science. The investors and media really should have considered that she had no credentials in medical testing.
