> But at trial, a Tanis engineer admitted that the samples Tanis had sent to Smashmallow to prove it could produce the product were actually made, in part, by hand. Apparently Tanis, too, had faked it to make it.
So Smashmallow weren't the ones doing the Theranos-ing — they were the ones getting Theranos-ed.
- jszymborski 3y agoI came here to say precisely the same thing. The theranos comparison seems unfair to smashmellows, but tanis did exactly what theranos did when it said blood chemistry reports were generated by its machines when in fact it was being run through conventional machines.
- unwise-exe 3y agoI read that as B.I. taking the problems at Theranos as being entirely that the tech didn't work out, and ignoring the whole thing about lies and fraud.
