She looks dumbstruck in that photo, like the reality just set in on her.

I worked for one horribly crooked CEO in a Silicon Valley startup company, but we never went as far as she did. Of course, we were make a free space optical communication system and it was a lot harder to fake hardware than bogus software accounts.

I worked for a startup software company that had features for generating reports that had absolutely no code behind them - none of the developers knew how to implement them.

Tech support just told customers that they were doing something wrong and moved on to the next problem. About 1 1/2 years later I finally added code to make the features work. Didn’t tell anybody until about 3 weeks after that release. It surprised everybody ;-)

That appears to be a federal building, judging by the no smoking reference to CFR. Maybe she just got out of the courthouse.

I’ve never worked in the tech sector, in fact I hate most things about tech.

I had a job once where after about a month I figured out that both owners were embezzling from each other. One had a mob boss for a daddy. Both were among the stupidest people I’d ever met. Mob boss daddy was equally a moron. I quit the next day.
