  How did no blood scientist/dr/expert not easily point out their premise was fatally flawed?

  They did. Every expert out there pointed out it’s impossible.

    I remember one former employee posted on reddit without naming the company, saying everything they were claiming was bs. A little later the scandal blew up and it was confirmed the guy worked for Theranos.

  she just ripped off a bunch of rich people

  Her company was sinking its teeth into the medical field though. That could’ve killed people if they weren’t found out soon enough.

    How was it gonna get FDA-approved tho? Im sure its happened before in the past but i wonder what the plan was for that

      Under Trump’s FDA, she could just make a “donation” and it would be approved. Don’t kid yourself that these institutions are— or ever were —sacrosanct.

      I’m not sure what they were doing needed FDA approval since it was a blood test and not something that actually goes into or touches a patient. Though I’m not expert on medical regulations so thats just a guess.

        Thats why I make it a habit of leaving blood wherever I go, no regulations.

  The most depressing thing about this entire ordeal is that the woman stole lots of money, got busted because that money belonged to rich people, and is now after having been convicted and literally been to prison as far as i know, able to cash in on that further. Lets make a movie about that wonderful successful scammer.

    I think there’s a law in the states that criminals can’t profit from the story of their crime. If I remember correctly, the money that would have gone to the criminal goes to restitution for the victims.

      Assuming that is indeed the case, she still benefits considerably: she gets to stay relevant, develop celebrity, change or affect the public opinion on her. A normal criminal cant even get a job cleaning toilets sometimes.
