Questions about Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos [View all]
I watched the documentary about Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos situation. The entire story is crazy and I have some question.
Holmes was an "inventor" that attempted to model Steve Jobs. She ran a company that was trying to build a machine that would run instant blood tests for 200+ conditions. Things didn't go well.
Here are my questions...
When did she realize the idea wasn't going to work? Was it a scam all along? If not, when did she realize it wasn't going to work?
She had an ongoing sexual relationship with the COO of the company. Was the relationship based on convenience (he was closest person that she trusted) or of control (sex was her way to keep him loyal)?
