I've been waiting for a Theranos post to dredge something up. On a very early Theranos post in 2013, there was a commenter who identified the company as a scam several years early. Naturally, they received minimal attention. Interestingly, though, it was the only comment they ever made. I've wondered if it was a disgruntled insider wanting the truth to come out.

- aerovistae 4y agoOddly that was that account's only comment and they never commented again in the 9 years since.

- zozbot234 4y agoIt wasn't just a single commenter. Many people over the years commented here at HN that the Theranos folks were outright delusional and batshit crazy. Unfortunately, the investors and patients who ultimately joined in that collective delusion weren't really aware of HN back in the day.
