I have no idea who this is and must assume I should be grateful looking at the comments.
She created a blatantly fake med tech company that claimed to be able to do all labs with a single drop of blood. She leveraged being a woman in tech with some fraudulent demos to get massive amounts of investments. Eventually a whistle blower came out, and trials started for all the fraud. She got less prison time than her co founder.
The AI companies basically learned from her grift to get funding
Back when daring tech startup fraud was still landing you in prison. Nowadays it makes you a billionaire.
