‘Sunny’ Balwani Theranos Trial Begins: What to Expect | WSJ

I’m just gon say it! Dude who played him in Dropout was WAAAAAY too good looking for that role!! 😂😂

Balwani is the fall guy, watch him get fried. Caucasian women privileged.

Not this time 😉

[@shobhitgupta8406]

@@Pikachu-qr4yb because she is the ceo and the last time i checked ceo > coo. But even if they get equal sentence still it would be unfair for him imo.

[@AdhiNarayananYR]

He was more of a henchman than a co conspirator. If you read there publicly released chats it is evident he raised so many red flags to Elizabeth, and she blatantly refused to listen to fix the problems. Instead they both hit it. He is definitely guilty but not to the extent of Elizabeth Holmes.

@@AdhiNarayananYR Mind is filthy full of dirt how can you wash your sin it doesn’t work that way

[@ImadeIyamu]

A henchman is a co-conspirator under the law. A co-conspirator is anyone who agrees with you to commit an unlawful act, whether or not you both have the same authority. He didn't leave the company, report to authorities, or back away from the agreement in any way when she refused to listen - that is agreement. And under the law, conspirators are guilty to the same extent as principal offenders.

[@movo2060]

They deserve 50 years each

Hopefully she will serve more time then Jussie. Only has to be 7 days.

50 years for both of them. Criminal and Wire Fraud.

[@mike48084]

Chill out. Failure is not a crime you know.

[@iiianskieee]

@@mike48084 that failure almost cost lives. Medical fraud should be treated with the utmost punishment. They both PROMISED that their technology worked and fooled everyone. Now imagine if you were one of those patients that were mislead about their health. People could have died from this and I think 50 years prison sentence is just for these two.

[@mike48084]

@@iiianskieee maybe they did “promise” it, but they aren’t the FDA. Did they ever promise it was FDA approved? Don’t think so buddy! If it ain’t FDA approved, use at your our risk. Same goes for covid vaccines, FDA emergency authorization is French for “use at your our risk”

She is such a coward that besides answering everything with “I don’t recall” the first time she lied faking the machine worked started way before he started working with her yet she blames all on him. He did what she asked him to do. Even his position was already a set up for him to take the blame.

[@indianskeptic3451]

This is an inspiring step forward 🤣

[@sillyandhairy7142]

so interesting

[@sammythompson3598]

I believe they are equally guilty. I believe he is a tyrant and overall nice guy this is what attracted them to each other because neither is she. That being he was a success in business, and I do believe he did attempt to get her to see reality and believed his huge investment would allow him the power to take this over. Somewhere his business sense became skewered and corrupt his business history was clean until THERANOS he had an impeccable reputation-----always a tyrant but not corrupt. He chose her over Right and I believe chose to try to make her delusional business legitimate. They are equals both deserve prison.

[@jackiec9285]

Wonder if they were doing something besides medical technology in that Theranos building with bulletproof glass on the outside? Where did she get the money for the one million dollar a month rent for the building and how did she pay all the employees, herself and Sunny? Their business wasn’t generating any income since they had nothing to sell!! And this went on for years!!

[@xplicitmike]

Well ya, cus they were raising millions from investors

[@InStevenWeTrust]
