Nope, Carreyrou was on it before it was public that Carreyrou was on it. He spent months talking to people privately. Read the book. There is so much amiss here

Edit, responding to comment below: Of course people inside Theranos knew about something fishy, a few people outside were rumouring about it. But the suggestion that Carreyrou "jumped" on it in 2015 is false. Completely.
- MichaelCollins 4y ago> Nope, Carreyrou was on it before it was public that Carreyrou was on it. This doesn't preclude other people independently suspecting something was wrong. Indeed, many of the people Carreyrou talked to thought something smelled fishy. People in the original HN threads thought so too, as did Phyllis Gartner.
- eaurouge 4y agoHe should get credit for investigating and building a story around it. But there were calls from the scientific community, and in discussions here on HN, for Theranos to open up and show their data, way before he started investigating. The fact that Silicon Valley VCs, with one notable exception, passed on investing, speaks for itself.
