My take away, same as from Martha Stewart documentary, is that the law goes for you much harder if you are a woman. Musks or the world can deceive and produce vaporware for decades but God forbid you are a woman that's deceiving other men. A "b*tch hunt" somebody called it in Martha Stewart doc.

The data shows that this is the opposite of the truth. There is considerable bias against men in the legal system.

You are delusional, the stats say differently, both for prosecution and for conviction.

Lololo. It is exceptionally rare to be prosecuted, let alone convicted, as a woman.

The musk’s of the world are just exceptional at getting leverage - and pretty good/exceptional at manipulation.

Holmes was just good at manipulation, not so good at leverage, and eventually her fraud rose to the level even her manipulation skills were insufficient - and then had nothing to fall back on.

Oops.
