The husband dies by suicide and the widow gets a notice to return company property with no acknowledgement or kind words. This is completely heartless.

As portrayed in Hulu's "The Dropout," one of Dr. Gibbon's biggest stressors when contemplating either lying under oath or telling the truth and being fired by Holmes in a patent lawsuit was the fact that he needed health insurance because he had cancer. This fine man suffered so much at the hands of this sociopath.

Justice for Ian Gibbons. I hope that the judge takes this into account as well as the way she treated other whistleblowers., in her sentencing. Shes been monstrous.

This was one of the greatest tragedies in this story. This man was an award-winning Scientist who really did work on teams and led them too great inventions that impacted lives. His best friend Channing betrayed him.

A nightmare in ethics. This is why startups need people who at least know the difference between right and wrong.

A person with that level of talent, the kind of talent that Ian Gibbons had, should be held in the highest esteem and shown nothing but the utmost respect. The truth is right there with this man. if Holmes was serious about the efficacy of the device she would have stopped right there. But what did this woman do? She went on and on and on and on. She needs to be put behind bars for the next couple decades.

I’m so sad for her loss. The pressure her husband was under was horrendous. The ache she feels every day, I also feel. Loving Loss never goes away.

Her getting pregnant was all by design in an effort to gain sympathy from judge & jury. But what’s crazy is she knew it’s possible she could be sent to prison & leave a child motherless. That’s really shows how manipulative she is & also what lack of self-awareness she has! Why would you have a child right before possibly being sent up the river?

The fact that Holmes is not being indicted for the suffering she caused many people and now for this precious man’s life is infuriating. She is the poser of the century. She never showed remorse and hopes she gets 80 years. My heart goes to this widow, may God comfort her and Ian Rest In Peace. #justiceforIanGibbons

This is absolutely heartbreaking... Wish Holmes a lifetime in jail and more and for her to really reflect on the horrid atrocities she committed to so many people...

So sad for her. Lost my dad the same way. His job did him in after 47 years of basically giving his life to this company. E.H. deserves jail time. We were treated the same by the company my dad worked for. The Pueblo Chieftain in CO. We begged them NOT to run the story about how and where my dad's body was found and they completely disregarded him and us. I feel her pain.

If I were this lady I would sue. She is obviously traumatized.

This man's story is one of the most damning things against Holmes. In Bad Blood, he sounds like a wonderful person, and Holmes didn't even have the common decency to send this woman a bunch of flowers or a card after he died. Pitiful. Really sad. Holmes is a narcissistic monster. She should be held accountable for his death.

I remember watching her in a weekly primetime show; told my husband there's something evil about this woman. She smiled with a smirk.

“For me he was as near as perfection a human could be”…imagine the hole in her heart….they need to play that statement at sentencing.

Who goes and has a child knowing they have hundreds of years pending a criminal case awaiting, and should they convict won't get access to that child. who does that? I'll tell you who, psychopath who uses it as a strategy to be a victim and get leniency for themselves taking no accountability of what wrong and hurt they have caused.

They only rehired him after every chemist on their staff threatened to quit if he didn’t come back. Oh, he survived cancer not long before all this also, so there’s that too. Holmes is the absolute worst of the worst.

Wow, they nailed it with his character. He was so lovable on the series. If he was half of what was shown, the world is missing a fine soul. I told my husband if that were me, I wouldn't rest until I busted that company wide open - if I lost my husband to that mess. She's my hero. I hope she has some measure of comfort knowing the fraud is over.

The jury should have found Holmes guilty on ALL of the charges. in Ian Gibbon's suicide, I'm not surprised that Holmes didn't even acknowledge his death when she was told of it, but then requested that any of Theranos equipment be returned....That's evil.

Elizabeth Holmes is a menace. -- but she did bring to light how unbelievably stupid all these high profile people were to invest their money without seeing the product.

I'm so sorry for this woman's pain.

Poor woman , can really see how much she still loves her husband. Brave to be so honest

What a tragedy. My heart goes out to Mrs. Gibbons. Elizabeth Holmes is a monster. I hope she never gets out of prison.

This Holmes woman is very sociopathic and creepy

Lizzy holding hands each to and from court made me barf.. Her insincerity was overwhelming... Give her the max..

It’s a pity the world never got to meet this good decent man and hear him tell his story when this all came to light.

It’s absolutely absurd that anyone would ever believe Holmes’ claims that one drop of blood could be tested for everything. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that’s not possible.

Given her level of Education(Dropout) and the way she chose to personally package herself Elizabeth Holmes is nothing more than a high-level sales person with an extremely high level, well-heeled clientele. The verdict only addressed the people she fleeced, not the patients whose lives she put in danger.

Hoping she will go and do an impact statement on the day of Holmes' sentencing. Holmes used Gibbons' words and twisted them in her defense testimony.

Justice for Ian

I don't understand why the husband stayed at Theranos for so long, knowing what he did.

Heartbreaking ! 😔

Hi CBS Mornings. Please pass a long virtual hug, hand to hold & all my love on to Rochelle from me. What happened to Ian was truly tragic, beyond infuriating &, no doubt, involved many other strong emotions ❤😭😭 Please also pass on my thanks for speaking out & shield her from other people with little to no empathy as best you can. Thank you. T

This is so upsetting, because this window is completely unheard in this story. If the judge really took this into account, he would have sentenced much more than 11 years.

This is so sad. I’m so sorry for this women. May you heal and God bless you.

If Elizabeth Holmes testified that Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani (her secret elderly lover) caused her emotional and physical abuse -alluding to the jury that her bad business behaviors were spawned by his abuse, if we can say that is all true then we can also use the same abuse excuse for Ian Gibbons. We can deduct that it is proven (by employees testimonies) that Elizabeth Holmes was tyrannical towards employees and others --than that same abuse excuse can be applied to Ian Gibbons. The difference is Holmes had financial/professional hold on Gibbons that her elderly lover did not have on Holmes. Who held the power in these relationships?

That poor woman, my heart hurts for her.

My deepest condolences to Rochelle and the rest of the families. Ian was a good and talented man who wanted to do great things in the world. The amount of pressure and, dare I say, abuse from Elizabeth and those who complied is horrendous

My heart broke when I learnt his story & so sorry for her loss. A true 'Man of Science.'

In the movie, I never understood why the Richards character (played by William Macey) sued Gibbons. In fact, Theranos' lawyer asked that question in the scene with George Schultz.

Holmes and her "boyfriend" gaslit this honest, earnest man into his grave. May the judge factor in the peripheral damage, shame, and wasted years done to the humans she brought into their con company as a significant part of his sentencing considerations.

Accountability. I pray for Mrs Gibbons and others impacted by this evil 🙏🏾

I just watched The Dropout, and fell in love with the portrail of Ian Gibbons, such a nice, hard-working man, such a shame what happend, i hope Elizabeth goes to prison forever and suffers for everything she caused.

Can someone tell me why she is not in jail waiting for her sentencing? I don’t get it

I pray Ian receives justice and peace 🕊

You should sue Holmes!

Rest his spirit. He met the wrong young lady she ruined so many lives omg

This should be considered in her sentence factor. I am still amazed how she fooled so many and many more took her seriously? That is the curiosity of upstarts in the industry. Quirky posers emulating tech icons everywhere there. But! Having armed off duty cops as bodyguards 24-7 should of been a hint? From Jobs to Zuckerberg, not scientists or trained engineers but highly driven power hunger little people with the ability to control talented trained engineers and scientists. She needs time in prison as a deterrent to other posers.

I wish this could be brought up in Balwani's trial.I feel so sorry for this widow.

Ms. Gibbons, I am sorry that you and your wonderful husband (may he rest in peace), had to deal with these despicable people. I hope they lock her and Sonny up and throw away the key. I only wish they could lock up those horrendous lawyers that threatened and intimidated your husband as well. Unfortunately, this punishment is nothing even close to what Holmes and her co-conspirators deserve. This whole thing makes me lose whatever faith I had in this country. To see former heads of state involved in this, even involved in the cover up, sickens me on all levels. Loss of respect for these individuals is only the tip of the iceberg, as to what I feel for them. This country thrives on corporate greed and stepping on anyone that gets in their way. May you feel comfort in knowing that your husband is greatly respected by millions and did not die in vain. May God bless you and know you were blessed for having Ian in your life for the time you did. Thank you for your part in taking these demons down. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Be strong.

Stephen Fry does a brilliant portrayl of Ian in Hulu's The Dropout. His last scenes are heartbreaking.

I wish she could give a victim impact statement at sentencing

I think Holmes talked about him on the stand for her defense, taking advantage of the fact that the prosecution could not say he committed suicide.

Holme's parents allowed this to happen, they raised her being entitled to everything.

doesn’t the judicial system have fault here? like why was it a dilemma in the first place

This is sickening.

Holmes is a bully without a conscience

1,000 patents, 38 years of marriage and credentials to be hired by the hottest start up in Tech but he committed suicide over a job at a company to which he was rehired at the age 67--beyond the age of retirement? Confusing.

This is beyond sad.

I agree that Holmes should be punished, but she had partners in crime. A lot of them. Are they going to be held accountable?

They rehired him to keep tabs on him

Heartbreaking

“Her Felonious Fall”, a poem - The jury didn’t buy all that she was sellin’. Texas Liz, now a 4-time felon.

🔴 Considering everything she did, she deserves a much, much more longer sentence ❗Considering that people from all over the world get the same or even longer sentences for much, much less than what she did ❗

I am very sadden that this happen to Ian. I strongly believe the University of Cambridge should recognize Ian Gibbons as a well know biochemist and honor him for his hard work, dedication and legacy.

I hope the judge sees this. If anyone knows him please forward this to him.

The irony it’s the good people that really suffer not the criminals , and it cost this good man his life ,

What a tragedy he got ensnared by that fraud

I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t walk away from such a job and environment at 67 years old It’s a lesson not to indent yourself and feel bound to role

It's disgusting that she conned the jury on 7 (4 not guilty, 3 no verdict) of the 11 counts. I also hate that the time will probably be served concurrently so she's looking at a max of 20 years instead of a max of 80 consecutive years.

His suicide was a HUGE red flag that should have revealed their conspiracy a lot sooner...

Holmes has to pay for the suffering she has caused to these people, disgusting

How tragic!! Holmes Is A Psychopath! She doesn't care about anyone other than herself! This poor woman!!

I really hope she gets real time. I knew about Ian Gibbons death from the documentary on HBO, that for me was the single reason I thought she should be prosecuted. She has no empathy for others suffering, only cares about her "vision".

Holmes committed a billion dollar fraud, and then rolled right on to marry the 20 year old heir to hotel fortune. Zero remorse. She's some operator. I'm hearing she may only do something like 3 years at a minimum security prison.

May his beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. I’m sobbing, Elizabeth and Sunny need to be held accountable for this man’s death.

Why didn't he quit?

So sorry for your loss

This is heartbreaking

Elizabeth Holmes should have been immediately taken into custody after her conviction.

Condolences.

I hope this lovely woman makes an impact statement at Elizabeth's sentencing!!

This Widow is living in a fantasy world if she thinks Elizabeth Holmes is suffering. Elizabeth Holmes is laughing and walking free! There is no justice here at all.

I'm so sad to hear how he died. he seemed like such a sweet man.

Has anyone mentioned that the legal system also failed to protect this man from a no-win situation?

She must be punished! He was really honest and valued man! Justice for him!

Wow, glad to see the truth about who was hurt by all the lies.

Theranos and esp the leadership needs to be held accountable for manslaughter - instigating, harassing a wonderful mind to take his life!!

I feel very sad for her... how terrible.

Sad that someone would commit suicide over a job. Just dump the job and never look back. Better jobs lie ahead. RIP to this gentleman.

This poor man! E Holmes wasn’t in the same class of his integrity , brilliance & honor! She makes me sick

I hope the judge does not allow her appeal..

He should have never committed suicide, cause he was a hero. Speaking up was a very brave thing to do, and he would eventually contribute so much more. I wish he had reach out to a therapist, and not suffered alone. No job is ever worth it, and there are other jobs. Don't ever give some sociopath the power to destroy you mentally.

Holmes: "MAKE MY IMPOSSIBLE IDEA WORK!"

Thank you for this interview! I have been wondering how she is doing. May she find solace in this. What a waste of talent. Holmes is a monster!

This wasn’t a victimless crime. Greed is dangerous.

I feel so sorry for this woman.

devastating!

He should have come forward and said it's all fake . Speak up man .
