I watched this unfold in real time. It was horrible, and not only was her career and reputation destroyed, but hundreds of thousands of ME/CFS patients were thrown under the bus (again.)

The person responsible for having her arrested was her employer, Annette Whittemore, who happens to be the spouse of Harvey Whittemore, (who subsequently underwent his own mob-related scandals.) https://eu.rgj.com/story/news/2016/02/17/nevada-lobbyist-harvey-whittemore-leaves-prison/80538236/ (puff piece)

Interestingly, the other person who discovered a possible ME/CFS - related retrovirus in the 80s, Elaine De Frietas, also had her work shut down.

Curious...
