I mean, not really. https://twitter.com/williamalden/status/658705178523258880 https://twitter.com/williamalden/status/658705178523258880 Plenty of investors were straight up reaching for the conspiracy theory handbook.

Silicon Valley has a very hard time accepting the possibility (nay, certainty) that there are some bad actors in our midst (even well-meaning bad actors). A very large portion of the scene seem to respond to accusation of malfeasance with hostility. A certain amount of skepticism against claims of malfeasance, sure, but in Theranos' case there were a lot of comments not unlike Dave Morin's.
