Maybe he was really just making stuff up to attract deep pocket investors. That happens sometimes.
There was an American company that claimed to have a machine that could read your state of health via a small drop of blood. The company venture was headed by a young attractive blonde woman. She knew just enough about science to pull it off. She talked a good game.
They attracted many, many wealthy investors. They were rolling in the dough for a while, and then, the bottom dropped out. Her secret of deceit became public information.
I think she still walks free to this day, perhaps all due to Beauty Privilege.
Yeah, she got her investors for almost $1B, but she supposedly had to give it back, which for some reason I doubt happened. I know, I’m too cynical.
Still wondering where did the Raelians go?
Back around there was a cult that claimed they had cloned a child and they would soon debut him to the world. They got a lot of media coverage and problem a couple 100k in speaking fees.
SHE became a poster child for the successful young, liberal American woman who would drive men out of the world.
So the lies were buried and no questions asked.
Remember that WHOLE episode well.
It ended BADLY for her.
And she FAKED data.
