Theranos sued multiple blood pathologists into oblivion who were pointing out that it was fundamentally physically impossible to do what they claimed they were

Theranos sued multiple blood pathologists into oblivion who were pointing out that it was fundamentally physically impossible to do what they claimed they were already doing. Thepathologyblawg was one. No amount of microfluidics can improve a 100ml arterial blood test to being done with a 1ml finger prick test because of biology (capillaries filter cells by size) and the statistics of sample sizes. It isn't a matter of "not having met deadlines". It was just fraud mixed with enough money to hide the fraud, so maybe a ponzi?
