I was pretty dismayed how NYT framed her as this "life turnaround, devoted mother" facade when in reality she put lives in danger by promising a fancy scam.
I generally don't care about the investors she duped, they should've performed their due diligence and they didn't. What Theranos proved is that 'investors' will back your company if you wear a fancy turtleneck, and speak to prospects like Jobs did.
Ridiculous all around, the real victims got nothing. Just another reminder that the law only works for those who can afford it.
