She created a blatantly fake med tech company that claimed to be able to do all labs with a single drop of blood.

Back when daring tech startup fraud was still landing you in prison. Nowadays it makes you a billionaire.
It really depends. This was Madoff level fraud of ripping off rich people. That pretty much always ends with jail or death.
there was also a recent movie. i thought i wanted to see it but forgot about it.
There’s also a ten year old HBO documentary, but don’t know how it compares to the movie.
Well. She seems like a barrel of laughs.
