FWIW, I had never heard of Theranos until they came up in the news with all these issues (and I read HN every day).

  They were on 60 Minutes last year

  June of 2014 there was a massive press roll out for Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. You couldn't go anywhere, or look at a magazine rack, without seeing her face. http://fortune.com/2014/06/12/theranos-blood-holmes/ http://fortune.com/2014/06/12/theranos-blood-holmes/

    I'm the same -- I never heard of Theranos before the criticisms on HN. I also don't read magazines, read newspapers, watch TV, or listen to the radio.

    It's appeared on HN that far back (and further), as well.
