This is like the fourth or fifth article on Theranos making the front page of HN in the last week or so.
It's kind of like living on the San Andreas Fault and noticing your dog is starting to get really nervous...
- saryant 11y agoReminds me of the rise and fall of Enron. Endless puff pieces about how amazing Ken Lay is and how they're revolutionizing the energy industry until a few reporters actually looked at their financials and published their concerns. Enron was dead eight months later. Substitute Lay for Holmes, financial fraud for medical concerns and that WSJ article on Theranos for Fortune's Is Enron Overpriced? and there you go.
- danso 11y agoThe recent rush of bad press is mostly because of the one WSJ article which was the first mainstream, in-depth media scrutiny of Theranos...it's possible that they can overcome it if they really do have what they claim they do. edit: grammar
