[Review] Bad Blood: Secrets and Idiots in Elizabeth Holmes Fake Valley Startup

Just finished this book, it had me hooked the entire time. I'm left shocked that the sham went on for 12 years. So much negligence on behalf of the VCs, and so many high profile and well-respected people bought into it, even up to the level of famous Four-star General James Mattis. How was it not a huge red flag that there were no domain experts on the Theranos board?

The reality distortion field projected by Elizabeth Holmes was obviously incredibly effective and powerful. Tragic that she used this capability for deceptive, selfish reasons rather than a greater good or higher purpose.

Finally, the fake deep voice thing she does- so suspicious; how were people genuinely fooled by it?
