All the ballyhoo stunk to high heaven to me -- a case of "doth protest too much". So, my guess is the tech actually worked (even if not as perfect as originally hoped). And the company was destroyed by industry players via government regulation and a massive smear campaign -- and it worked like a charm. Ultimately they even murdered the lead scientist, faking his suicide, to ensure the truth is never known. The tech was simply too disruptive to the hand-over-fist $$$ in the industry, so it had to be put down. And if you think that's crazy, you haven't read enough history.

You sound like someone who immediately dismissed "all the ballyhoo" because it wasn't what you wanted to believe. As someone who has followed the whole thing closely, Holmes and Balwani are snakes, and their fraud is undeniable. The tech is so "revolutionary" that they weren't even using it, they just hacked competitors machines to use smaller samples, accuracy rates be damned.

"And if you think that's crazy, you haven't read enough history. " I know! Just read the history of cold fusion and perpetual motion machines:. The establishment and government didn't allow these either :-)
