A Phillip J. Fry MomentElizabeth Holmes isn't due to get out of jail for another 7 years, (Not long enough) but her baby daddy is looking to have yet another grift ready for her when she gets out.
As Anna Russel would say, "I'm not making this up, you know."
Why on earth is anyone lining up to sent their money?
Elizabeth Holmes is in prison for defrauding investors through her blood-testing company, Theranos. In the meantime, her partner is starting one of his own.
Billy Evans, who has two children with Ms. Holmes, is trying to raise money for a company that describes itself as “the future of diagnostics” and “a radically new approach to health testing,” according to marketing materials reviewed by The New York Times.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because Theranos similarly aimed to revolutionize diagnostic testing. The Silicon Valley start-up captured the world’s attention by claiming, falsely as it turned out, to have developed a blood-testing device that could run a slew of complex lab tests from a mere finger prick.
Mr. Evans’s company is named Haemanthus, which is a flower also known as the blood lily. It plans to begin with testing pets for diseases before progressing to humans, according to two investors pitched on the company who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they had agreed to keep the plans secret. Mr. Evans’s marketing materials, which lay out hopes to eventually raise more than $50 million, say the ultimate goal is nothing short of “human health optimization.”
Yeah, and they are claiming that it's exempt from regulation, which is a lie:
………
The marketing documents provided with the photo say there is “no regulatory oversight — U.S.D.A. confirmed in writing.”
It’s not clear what the company means by that. A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Seth W. Christensen, said he was not able to confirm whether the agency had corresponded with Haemanthus. “U.S.D.A. does regulate vet diagnostics,” including blood testing, Mr. Christensen said.
Of course, it's all sooper-dooper sekret, so they cannot answer any questions:
Mr. Evans responded in an interview, “When you’re in stealth, you’re trying to be in stealth. They aren’t going to find anything associated with the name Haemanthus.” Mr. Evans sent a partially redacted document from the U.S.D.A. that said, “It does not appear that the proposed product is within the regulatory jurisdiction" of the Center for Veterinary Biologics, which is a part of the U.S.D.A.Geebus, it's amazing just how much bullsh%# the children of privilege are allowed to get away with, again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
