@rbreich it amuses, knowing he's benefited from the better part of $12b in grants, and the shell-game he's played with stock swaps, carbon credit offsets, tax avoidances, etc- it's almost admirable how he's managed to keep that ball in the air for so long.

ist just me or is there an inevitable Theranos moment in store for him at some point?
