I have not seen the dropout, though I've been meaning to. I had read about her in some magazine article when she was becoming famous around the tech and medical world, did not know what the end of the story was until I picked up a copy of "Bad Blood" from the local library (what I assume the dropout was largely based off of.) If you want to never, ever trust what a CEO in silicon valley says ever again, and generally just be horrified about how gullible those that you would assume are smart enough to pick out a scam artist, you gotta read that book. It seems like unless you picked up either that book or the dropout, the news of what elizabeth holmes and theranos did quickly got wrapped up in the rest of the news cycle for most.
