I just finished Bad Blood and one thing I have noticed is that how much you can get away with if you have mastered the art of talking to powerful people. It seems they could have figured out much earlier that Theranos was a fraud if anybody had ever bothered to take a closer look. Even when some people started having doubts Holmes always was able to take herself out of it. Instead the whistleblowers got treated badly. The Shultz situation was especially frustrating to read. This reminds me a little of a situation at work. We have a director who everybody outside management knows he is full of sh.t. He never delivers anything and when you get the chance to talk to VP or CEO they agree that he needs to go. But then they talk to him and he always gets a second chance. This guy gets much more face time with our CEO then anybody else I know.
