11. "Fyre Fest is not the same thing."
In response to In response to 4

          

Theranos was fucking w/people's lives and risking their health for profit, based on wholly fraudulent claims and manipulative business practices.

Fyre Fest fucked w/people's money. Definitely shitty but nowhere near the level of what Holmes and Theranos did and could've potentially done to people.
