During Christmas dinner, her father Christian Holmes IV, a former executive at Enron, wrote the letters “Ph.D.” on a piece of paper, folded it into a paper airplane, and sent it aloft. “No Dad,” Holmes replied. “I want to make money.”

How on earth she was able to persuade all these distinguished men to get onboard this scheme, I will never understand.
Me neither. The machines they made were bolted together from existing equipment and never worked at all the way they said they were supposed to and they faked results for years using real lab test machines. An elaborate con. Some people who knew what they were talking about questioned what they were doing but everyone essentially ignored them. And, based on what I've read, both she and her partner Sunny were total assholes. I can't believe anyone worked for them for more than a day or two (a lot of people quit very soon after joining the company). |
