    And of course, liquor is what revealed it - only 3 times one reveals who they really are: when they are angry; when they are in love; and most accurately: when they are drunk

    Do yourself a favor and just shut the fuck up and leave here permanently. You make Jewdonk ( no offense to Marty), on his WORST day, look like a stable sober intellectual.

    You couldn't even live up to a promise you gave yourself to grow a fucking pair of balls and retire for a month.

    You couldn't even go TWO FUCKING DAYS without fluttering your useless pussflaps to nobody who really gives a fuck.

    Two. Fucking. Days.

    Thats how absolutely pathetic you really are that you have NOTHING else to turn to than a poker forum. I feel sorry for this "wife" if you really have one. She must be downright fucking miserable that you would rather vigorously massage your prostate to an internet chat circle than reassess your daily activities and maybe pay attention to what's actually important. I hope to God you don't have any children, for their sake

    Edit: BTW, I actually had empathy for you in the past despite your ridiculous attitude towards me and others. I told myself, "give him a chance to get his shit straight"..."he's maybe not in a good place"

    That is gone.

    There is only so much garbage people will deal with.

    Have a great day.

    I agree, but it is hard to say for sure about her. She was so young, with this weird arrogance. I blame her parents for sure.

    She definitely had some larceny in her and they were spending money on so much dumb shit it was like they were on a mission to go broke.

    Who really cares about her fake invention anyway? It saves some people some inconvenience, slight pain and bruising, but most normal people can give blood or blood samples no problem. Sure there's a tiny minority that can't- they call those "orphan" drugs- limited potential for profitability.

    The biggest scam is she had a story that this was a life-changing healthcare device worth BILLIONS. That story wasn't true, but even if it had been true, it still was a scam.

    Someone also brought up that they'd rather have blood drawn normally than do a pin prick of their fingertip.

    I agree!

    Why? Every time i've had a HIV test its been a finger pin prick and completely painless and takes less than a second. Why would taking it from the arm be better?

    All joking aside, I think mental health may have played a role in this. I came to believe she was more delusional than realized she was outright scamming. That Sunny Balwani guy, though, seems like he was just a straight up white collar criminal.

    Fuck that. I just dont buy the mental illness angle. She knew exactly what she was doing...right down to literally changing her voice to sound like a man. And yeah, that Sunny guy is a real pile of garbage as well. I watched the documentary - these two were a real piece of work.

    shes a sociopath and so is her street shitting ex.

    they ran a scam.

    claiming being a sociopath to escape culpability is part of that scam.

    she wasnt delusional in the slightest, she was just incompetent. 80% of silicon valley is fueled by 'fake it until you make it'. the best fakers believed their own lies, and she knew that, so she did that, and it came naturally to her because....


    ... shes a sociopath.




    full stop.

    I'm not excusing anything she did, and I still believe she belongs in prison. As does Sunny Balwani.

    However, she had a certain about of delusion going on. The obsession with Steve Jobs (and trying to change her voice to sound like him) was just part of the insanity. Strange as it sounds, I think she convinced herself of her own lies. This is why she continued granting interviews and did other oddball things you wouldn't expect if this were simply a high-level scam.

    Sunny Balwani was not delusional. He was one of those ruthless corporate assholes who did what he felt was necessary to protect his lucrative income stream, even if it meant outright lying and bullying whistleblowers via abuses of the legal system. He is the far more reprehensible character of the two.
