Correct. Holmes is a figurehead being used by a group of "interested individuals", as I've been saying since Theranos started appearing in the news.
It may not have been blindingly obvious to most, but coming from a place where I am intimately familiar with the machinations of the plutarchy, this immediately struck me as a simple "let's screw with the market" type scam.
This makes double sense when you consider that between about 15 and 10 years ago when Theranos would have been brewing in the minds of the old boys club that run it, biotech was considered THE hot stock area among the overmonied class. They've cashed in, neatly.
Theranos is absolutely nothing special - apart from perhaps being a special interest entity.
The thing is, they won't have been setting out to create human suffering - it won't have even crossed their minds that that would be a side effect - they will just have been thinking about the market, and how to separate their less guileful chums from their cash. Theranos' medical negligence is "just collateral damage".
