That’s probably only true if you have a solid board, but your board gains respect when you say, “here are the concerns, and here’s how we’re solving them” much more than sweeping stuff under the rug and saying “everything is great.”

My guess is she is just a psychotic type, used to lying as an instrument of first resort. Thus morals (in the normal way) can't be taught to her. But as to actual belief, please. If so, then why the NDAs? Threats? Spying?

She knew she wasn’t there, and thought she could lie for now and that would help her get there

Eh, she lied about material present facts, willfully conspired, lied to perhaps hundreds of ppl while looking them right in the eye -- i see the basis for cutting her any slack would be saying she has a delusional disorder. But she doesn't!

I'm half way in & can't really have a sense of her psyche cause the author doesn't get into it, at least not yet, but agree with the above, it was over many years, knowing that what was being promised was not close to being real. The story is insane, but the book, although in

I can't wait to read it! I've been following the story ever since it broke. So many red flags! I think the book about Zappos Founder trying to make his Utopia in Vegas will be a great read too.

Tim Draper's continuing defence of
@eholmes2003 is interesting. At first I thought he had just lost his mind. Now I'm thinking he thinks it is better to look a bit loony tunes than admit to being an utterly incompetent and negligent investor.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
