That’s too bad. She still committed fraud

He was mean to me....so I lied and cheated our customers out of millions.

Ohhhh so that’s why you committed fraud! Riiiiiiggghhht

Wondering it the TrumpCrimeFamily is paying for them

Since this seems to work for urban rioters and Wisconsin car murderers, this type of defense may work for her. None of us should really be held responsible for our actions, for we are all scarred by life—to one degree or another.

So? That doesn't excuse or explain her being a criminal and defrauding people.

Her lover made her defraud millions of people.

Kudos to Elizabeth Holmes for being one of the great ConMan of her age.

But that box still didn’t work.

Perpetrators are almost always victims first. Society may find it compelling, but the justice system does not.

Why didn't Bernie Madoff think of that one?

If youve followed this case, her legal team has been devising this defense the entire time. Im sorry, but she is doing actual harm SA survivors by using it as a legal defense.

I guess that makes it all ok

Ian Gibbons PhD dislikes. I feel for her if she was the victim of domestic abuse, but people’s lives and well-being were affected deeply by her actions. She needs to take responsibility AND her abuser needs to be charged.

O Boy

I committed fraud because I was sexually abused is quite the… um… story.

So instead of being an incredibly brilliant innovator she was just a weak woman that was used as a pawn? And all the while became a billionaire while swindling money from families? She better do serious time in the penitentiary.

How convenient

Soooooo, she lied and committed fraud because she allegedly was touched in her no-no spot and yelled at? 😐... hell of a defense, didn't see that coming.

…WTF?

Biggest victim wins.

Did he also make her wear turtlenecks and do the weird man voice?

She would not lie about something so important, would she?

Don't tell me that there are idiots who are buying into this bull shit.

This woman has ZERO credibility.

This was inevitable. Doesn’t have anything to do with whether she committed fraud.

If this is true, that is terrible, and I am sorry that she experienced that. But what does that have to do with her being a complete fraud and playing with the health of innocent people? Doesn't make her any less of a truly awful person.

Whatever.

Lol. She’ll play every card in the deck.

Oh stop!

Too little, Too late. No one feels sorry for this lying trick

Obviously, this changes everything: women that suffer from abuse cannot possibly be liable for any form of fraud or white collar crime. Case closed.

Hereeeeee we go it’s sad that this is the excuse of screwing people out of millions
