“This case was specifically about what Holmes told Theranos investors, although her lies also impacted partners and patients.”
This had nothing to do with patients though I am sure the patient angle helped underscore the lies to investors.
- ineedasername 5y agoThe actual convictions didn't have anything to do with patients, but if there hadn't been a direct human safety aspect to this then I doubt it would have received as much attention, and maybe not even prosecution. I really don't think much would have happened to her if this had been an AI startup claiming to use ground breaking techniques (black box) to achieve nearly general purpose AI, when in fact they were just using bog standard methods in xgboost or TensorFlow.
