For anyone having trouble remembering her like me, this is the woman that ran the scam blood testing company with "super-duper awesome blood testing machines," that actually never worked and they just did standard blood tests at huge markups (read: committed fraud).
she also did that goofy fake deep voice for some reason
She read that women with deeper voices get taken more seriously by people around them and can be seen here messing it up.

In the end, that may be what she's remembered most for
Our silly monkey brains interpret deeper voices as being more authoritative.
It's likely she was taking advantage of that human quirk to make her seem, on a subconscious level, like a better businessperson.
The reason is she got taken more seriously with a deeper voice
The goofy thing is that it worked on the boomers.
Well, at least she hoped she would be
No, the reason is she did it because she read/heard that it would make others take her more seriously. That's not the same as what you said.
There is a tv show that I think is based on her in one of the streaming platforms. It features an actress posing the same way and using a low voice.
I forgot what it's called but I downloaded and watched the whole show.
