       the insane part about theranos isn't that holmes was a liar, there are plenty of liars in the world and they generally don't build giant companies. The crazy part is that neither the investors (rupert murdoch, oracle's larry ellison and even Walgreens, who should have known better as it is their core business) nor the board of directors (including henry kissinger and 'mad dog' jim mattis of all people, and 2 more former us secretaries) stopped her at any time.

       @YTFoidLover1488 yeah, i'm sure kissinger would have been cancelled immediately if he had said 'actually let me see if this thing actually works'

       @lain Murdoch aside, the others were given massive amounts of stock which would have completely distorted their thinking. Other investors had made millions in software development where ‘move fast and break things’ can work. Unfortunately for them you can’t apply the same attitude to medical technology.
