"PT Barnum in a Jobs turtleneck" has so far been my favorite comment about Holmes. I feel like a broken record, but Theranos really reminds me of Terraliance Technologies. If you havent heard/read about that company, I highly recommend the following: http://archive.fortune.com/2010/03/26/news/companies/terralliance_tech_full.fortune/index.htm http://archive.fortune.com/2010/03/26/news/companies/terrall... It is tempting to look at big VC and names like Kissinger and think "these people are too smart to get conned". Truth is so much of their success is riding on past acheivements and they make great targets because getting one of them to support something starts a feedback loop akin to highschool social dynamics.
