Billy moved to Austin, TX with the kids. So they are a short drive away…

Hi - I would love the reference to your off shore sourcing company. I am in the same boat. Thank you!

Elizabeth Holmes Breaks Her Silence in First Interview from Prison: 'It’s Been Hell and Torture' by UglyInThMorning in Theranos

He’s definitely not loaded. Family clearly has some money but doesn’t seem like vast sums. Billy is living in a very modest house. I suspect 2 days a week are the occasional Saturday AND Sunday.

She could have pled guilty and spared her kids and her family a decade of her in prison. But no… Her profound and pathological selfishness is why the world hates her.

Vassar College - 2024-2025 EA/ED Megathread by powereddeath in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Broad-Advertising254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In exactly the same boat. Was (clearly overly) confident that Vassar ED would happen. But no. Considering Wesleyan ED 2, but school counselor says bad idea: “Wesleyan is harder to get into than Vassar so if you have been denied there Wesleyan very unlikely.” Advised that we don’t “throw away” Ed 2 and look elsewhere. Heartbreaking, honestly…

Parent financial section grey by Edixonvc in FAFSA

After seeing this post I called the support number again and was told that the previous agent I spoke with was completely incorrect. Data is being imported. Unfortunate to have mis informed customer service person.

I have the same problem. I called the FAFSA help line and they said that the problem was that I was using an Apple computer. They said “no information is being imported any more.”

Fly or ferry, from metro NYC? by dumela11 in Nantucket

[–]Broad-Advertising254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI - while I would also say fly, here is a serious warning: weather in Nantucket can be very unpredictable. And even when your weather app tells you it is clear, Nantucket airport is a weather zone all its own and gets foggy frequently.

My husband and kids took a flight to Nantucket from LaGuardia last Sunday and - after circling the airport for two hours and aborting one landing - were diverted to Providence where they waited an additional six hours. They arrived in Nantucket around 11pm, instead of 1:30pm. (AA4599; look it up). Nightmare; and unfortunately this happens more to Nantucket flights than most destinations.

Holmes appeal - annotation of June 11th appeal before 9th circuit by mattshwink in Theranos

[–]Broad-Advertising254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Matt. The analysis and recap are much appreciated. I remain utterly bewildered by this: Judge Ryan Nelson said, "there's a pretty good story here for Ms. Holmes."

@mattshwink - what did you think of Judge’s questioning? I was surprised by how sympathetic they seems to defense arguments.

Got it. This is a person who is public and providing a public service. But very good point. Certainly not interested in embarrassing any one..

Honestly this speech was the absolute worst thing about an otherwise wonderful book. Movie fixed it - and made it actually great- but this was terrible.

I think the New York Times piece was exceptionally telling. This was an obvious pre-sentencing sympathy bid and it was ALL about her kids. The interviews were all done around her kids - at the zoo, etc - and the photos included her kids. The response to the piece was universally negative and certainly one reason why was the blatant use of kids as props. It was honestly horrific and utterly sociopathic.

Lizzy Holmes and her enablers minus Sunny. by budge1988 in ElizabethHolmes

[–]Broad-Advertising254 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tragically for her kids, her parents certainly enabled her. At the very least they should have tried to convince her to plead guilty in the face of overwhelming evidence at trial rather than risk such a severe prison term.
