I hope the movie doesn't bury the lede like that article did: that while Theranos' biggest boosters were VCs in silicon valley, those same boosters were entirely unwilling to put their own money toward the business. VCs knew.

She has the Craziest set of Crazy Eyes I've ever seen and her voice sounds like a lady comedian trying to do a teenage boys voice. Steve Jobs carcass shoulda been used to feed shelter cats.  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

He's also a good example of the worst aspects of the west coast such as believing in quack natural miracle cures and pretending to be egalitarian while curb stomping the lower classes. Atrocious Joe posted:Steve Job's death is our Charge of the Light Brigade The fees are also sky high for VC management since in the above great deal a client would end up paying 2%-5% in asset management fees. Similar to a credit card company they are really good at creating a laundry list of fees: http://cepr.net/images/stories/reports/private-equity-fees-2016-05.pdf

He didn't have a engineering degree unlike Steve Wozniak.

Theranos was basically another deranged startup that bilked people out their money. Pharma bro was actually a hedge fund manager who was doing the old buying companies for their patents trick and then using the monopoly to crank up drug prices.

One of the most interesting things to come out of this was how BS silicon valley valuations are. Especially when the hacks at Forbes are involved. Hey Elizabeth is worth $4.5 billion based on her 50% stake in this unicorn rockstar buzzword firm, oh wait now we're revising her net worth to zero well poo poo happens!!
