Complete scam. Her Stanford professor gave several interviews where the prof said she told Holmes her technology is not scientifically possible. All the execs at Theranos knew it didn’t work. That was why they secretly outsourced work to traditional laboratories.
Then there was the whistle blower Tyler Schultz. He got roughed up by Theranos lawyers at his own grandfathers house. His grandfather was George Schultz former US Sec of State and Theranos board member. The lawyers wanted him to admit he gave away “trade secrets”. The trade secret is Holmes and everyone at Theranos belong in prison.

- wilsonnb3 4y agoI still can't get over the fact that so many rich people invested in this thing and joined the board despite anyone with the scientific knowledge to understand what Theranos said they were doing knew it was a scam. How to you invest millions in a medical/science company and not ask some impartial third parties if they think it is legit?
- rawgabbit 4y agoHolmes also scammed Harvard Medical School. HMS invited her to join their Board of Fellows despite Phyllis Gardner's loud protests, the very same Stanford professor who met Holmes years earlier. Phyllis Gardner was on the same Board of Fellows and told everyone else that Holmes was a fraud. Harvard ignored Phyllis Gardner as all they could see was $$$. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/11/3/elizabeth-holmes-hms-fellows/ https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/11/3/elizabeth-holme...
