    They said in the You Can See Everything documentary that this X account is actually operated by her boyfriend who is controlling to the point of demanding power of attorney over her.

    I’ve been in a situation where I did have to give power of attorney to my then (long term) boyfriend because I was very very critically sick. The laws around POA are very strict in the sense that even if you did sign it over it wouldn’t be honored if you were competent to make your own choices. POA also expired pretty quickly when a person is conscious, like if you’re in a coma long term or something the POA will just by default be honored but beyond that it has very little power, it’s constantly reassessed and even if it is signed over while you are competent judges will consider it moot and allow the competent person to exercise their own rights. If he does want this he clearly doesn’t understand what for or when the law considers it appropriate, even if she did sign it over to him it wouldn’t make any difference, it wouldn’t be honored.

    Britney was under conservatorship, I don't know the details of either, but that seems a lot more involved than power of attorney.

    I have no idea who this is and must assume I should be grateful looking at the comments.

    She created a blatantly fake med tech company that claimed to be able to do all labs with a single drop of blood. She leveraged being a woman in tech with some fraudulent demos to get massive amounts of investments. Eventually a whistle blower came out, and trials started for all the fraud. She got less prison time than her co founder.

    “Mostly my words, posted by others”

    Turns out that it’s her husband running that account, and somehow, that dude is even more batshit crazy than Elizabeth is.
