Would you buy a blood testing device from this guy?
Remember Theranos, the phony blood testing company fronted by made-for-TV wuderkind Elizabeth Holmes?
“Elizabeth Holmes’s romantic partner – the father of her children – reportedly has raised millions of dollars to start up a new blood-testing company that is strikingly similar to the one that landed the Theranos founder in federal prison.
“The fundraising comes as Billy Evans, an heir to a hotel fortune, is pitching his new company, Haemanthus, to potential investors, according to the New York Times. Evans’s pitch: a health-testing company that can make diagnoses from users’ blood, urine and saliva.
“Haemanthus’ pitch and those made by the Holmes-helmed Theranos share a few significant similarities.”
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
“Several investors have already passed on the pitch, according to the Times report. But, while reportedly being advised by Holmes, Evans has been able to raise almost $20m from friends and other investors.”
Fool, money, etc.
Theranos resurrected?

Because no one ever went broke underestimating American’s stupidity …
So, Elasmotherium haimatos may not be extinct after all. The blood unicorn lives!

No, I have enough issues with my blood as it stands now. I can look ok and still have dangerous issues resulting from drinking some water.
