--- Quote from: MrMobodies on March 01, 2020, 01:02:04 am ---I thought Meredith Perry and Elizabeth Holmes both had a similar passion in how much they believed in their projects to keep them going as long as they could. --- End quote --- Surely Holmes knew from the start that she was running a scam? I can't imagine how she thought things were going to play out with her being rich and free. --- Quote from: MrMobodies on March 01, 2020, 01:02:04 am ---They say about Elizabeth Holmes had some kind of dark voice and I have listened to Meredith's and doesn't sound the same to me. https://www.thecut.com/2019/03/why-did-elizabeth-holmes-use-a-fake-deep-voice.html --- Quote ---... If you hunt around online, you can sometimes find YouTube videos in which Holmes can be heard using that real voice before catching herself and deepening it, but these videos have a tendency to be taken down after a day or two.... --- End quote --- --- End quote --- Holmes' voice sounds obviously fake. You can find recordings of Margaret Thatcher using her natural high voice. She was still using it when she reached a ministerial position. Then she was groomed to use a fake deep voice, but the groomers did a much better job with her than Holmes' groomers did. Thatcher's fake voice generally sounded fairly plausible, |

(They probably asked and haven't gotten a response...which will be FO). --- End quote --- It's on PR Newswire, who have been around for a long time as a method of distributing press releases to Journalists. Once upon a time I used to get a 1/4" thick wodge of press releases in the post from them every day. Every journalist on the commercial aerospace beat will be getting this in their inboxes, if SonicEnergy were stupid enough to do as you suggest then it would take about 0.2 seconds for some journo well connected with Airbus to call their bluff. --- End quote --- It's likely talked up, just like uBeam talked up all the potential companies they were supposedly partnered with or "in discussions with" like Starbucks. All you have to do is send a company an email and technically you are "in discussions with". |

Also, she was famous for interviewers interrupting her because she would let her tone drift up. As she realised this and pulled it back down, usually near the end of a sentance, the drop was perceived to be the punctuation mark handing over to the interviewer, who immediately start talking. |
