The reporter likely contacted a bunch of Theranos employees via LinkedIn (and probably sorted the list based on former/current).
Was Tyler the only confidential source to talk to the WSJ? Probably not. because of that whole two sources rule good journalists follow.
- cft 10y agoSo your theory is that after Tyler's initial complaint, the regulators waited for a year, and then leaked the anonymous complaint to WSJ, which randomly contacted a bunch of employees, including the original anonymous tipper?

- prostoalex 10y agoWSJ has its own tipsters, the reporter in question was interviewed by Jason Calacanis a while back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgwJA-GOlg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgwJA-GOlg
