![Elizabeth Holmes: The ‘Valley of Hype’ behind the rise and fall of Theranos [documentary]](https://iml-jp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Elizabeth-Holmes-The-Valley-of-Hype-behind-the-rise-and-fall-of-Theranos-documentary.jpg)
#ElizabethHolmes #Theranos #ValleyofHype
Elizabeth Holmes became the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire as CEO of her biotech startup, Theranos. The former Silicon Valley darling now faces criminal trial and 20 years in prison over the Justice Department’s charges that she used the once-hyped blood testing company to defraud investors.
Yahoo Finance is turning the page on Theranos, examining arguments to be raised in Holmes’ defense and the culture that fueled her rise and fall. Interviews with a Theranos board member and employee who have never spoken out, as well as experts on Silicon Valley, raise the possibility that Holmes, rather than being a villain, is a victim of a Silicon Valley ethos that values a perfect pitch over proven results.

Her fake voice is what does it to me. How anyone didn’t bust out laughing and then run like hell the second they heard her talk in that phony baritone voice is astonishing.
She sounds like Beto O’Rourke, who himself sounds like a child cosplaying a man.
She could’ve done actually some good. Too bad greed & arrogance got the best of her.
When i was in college my classmates told me about this company that does blood test withought any blood. I said that sounds stupid. Years later i hear about this and just laughed.
My four year old grand daughter could come up with something similar…but have all the billion dollar money backing it? Hmmm
so what did your family do?
ENRON!
I’m gone
Thats AMERICANS FOR YOU
The Edison bread maker 😂
“She’s a victim.” Was this put together by her defense team?
Seriously~ Can’t even get the Real story~
Rationalizing BS.
Of course that clown said she was a victim. He was a board member so he is also party to it. He and all those who sat in the board enabled her. I don’t fault people who make mistakes. The fault lies if you know there are mistakes and yet deny the mistakes rather than own up that you are wrong or what you are selling is broken. There is no shame in being wrong. It’s what you do if you find out that you are wrong that matters.
Elizabeth Holmes was, is and always will be a fraud. And those who drank the Kool Aid are sad little lemmings. What’s that idiom? A fool and his money are soon parted?
hey, I’ll take 11 years in exchange for billions lol. She made off easy
Fraudster. Posser. Even a fake voice. Copied Steve Jobs dress. Nothing about her was authentic. She deserved life in prison. I’d like to know how many people’s health she compromised or even caused death. But anyone that trusted a 19 1:14:54 year old college drop out with no medical background was stupid anyway. One drop of blood could do 200 test. 🤣 People are so gullible. One stick of a needle and my doctor gets five vials at a time. And for chemo patients its every 3 weeks.
“There’s a sucker born every minute” Phineas Taylor Barnum.
Yeah I’m 7 minutes in and am turning off now. There is no excuse for this women and her schemes.
She should have just told the truth, Bottom line. Nothing wrong with having a strong drive but once you have so many people believing in your dream, be upfront when difficulties arrive, ups and downs are a part of entrepreneurism.
White collar crime doesnt need a collar to be a crime
All of these horny, old, easily duped, self-important males, experienced the humiliation they deserved.
Wow. You seem to be full of hate. Enjoy living that way.
Maybe people should earn their accolades before they receive them. The Leftist Cult so desperately wanted a woman to be the next big star they refused to see that Elizabeth Holmes was inadequate, incompetent, and nothing but a spoiled pampered fraud. There are plenty of brilliant people of all races and both sexes so just let them accomplish with merit and real invention rather than propaganda. Worst part of this is she put lives at risk and that means nothing to her. Pure evil.
I could barely finish this. Just a bunch of stupid men making excuses for a horrible person, Elizabeth Holmes. These guys are both the ultimate simps and blind fools.
Only in god i trust , not science or pullshit etc …
Don’t trust a person with big big eyes
A few minutes in and I’m already sick of it all
Can’t wait until this scam artist gets into that Federal Correction Facility.
I’m so glad she’s finally having to go to jail. This women is the very definition of Master Manipulator so obvious bc after everything she’s done she landed a multi millionaire boyfriend and living in Mansions and living a lavish lifestyle and of course popped out 2 kids as fast as possible. I’m so glad she’s finally has to go to jail. This women could have killed people. For example I’m on blood thinners and have to check levels to make sure my blood is not too thin bc then I could get internal bleeding or too think which could result in a blood clot that can cause a PE (Basically it breaks off and goes into your lungs or heart stopping it). I know it happened to me. Out of nowhere I dropped dead when a blood clot broke and did just that. The only reason I’m alive today is bc it happened in front of 2 EMS workers who were looking at another person at the time but ran over when I hit the floor saw I had no pulse and immediately saved my life.
So getting wrong blood results can be fatal for many people. And seeing her living in a 9 Million dollar home and living it up was really disturbing.
Instead of blood testing this women should have started a company teaching how to Manipulate Men/Or your partner bc that woman was that good at manipulating all those investors and now her rich boyfriend. She went into the wrong field.
Jail looks good on you.
‘Fake it to you make it’ needs to stop and is fraudulent- the very first word is ‘fake’, in others words, an intent to defraud from the very beginning. Investors should not have to the dreams and visions of others and it is incumbent on them to present something substantive before they seek other peoples money. Having a vision about some tech device is one thing, but when you are doing something that affects people’s health and lives, you have a higher responsibility. It’s not the same as coming up with an app. Hopefully investors will tire of inflated claims by people who only know how to promote, not to deliver.
this ‘documentary’ pretends to be objective. but listen to what the people in it are actually *saying* + look at their job titles and/or their relationship to Elizabeth. because much of what’s coming out of their mouths is ABSURD, considering who many of these people are!
no, this doco feels like a one hour – and then some – long tv ad pretending to NOT be singing Elizabeth Holmes’ praises. and whoever it *is* lurking behind the curtain is hoping the viewers of it have very low listening comprehension skills and that they’ll, primarily, pay attention the *sound* of the voices even more than the content of their words.
because all in this glossy, shiny campaign for ‘Liz’ who are making excuses for her, pretending she’s anything other than a horrible person and a total fraud, they cannot be trusted either. at least take a mental note of their names and shenanigans here and avoid them like the plague. because the country and especially the state of California – as well as definitely the Silicon Valley region – can be a very, VERY small place.
IF SHE WAS BLACK 😂
What? They’d put her in the Little Blermaid?
This is what happens to a Jobs without a Woz.
She described Theranos investors as crazy, and it’s board members as “old men whose brain had gone to their groin”🤣🤣🤣🤣
That doctor’s hair oh my god😂😂😂😂
Why does she sound like a man?
she wants to sound like steve jobs, there are videos of her real voice.
Those men drank the kool-aid!!!

Hard to believe this Narcissistic Sociopath is still not in Jail
Wow I’ve been listening for 15 minutes. Straight propaganda. There not even trying.
They’re debating whether or not companies have an obligation to be honest with investors and the public? She knew exactly that she was flimflaming everyone big time. She’s a sociopath or maybe a psychopath. They’re trying to make her look better because she incidentally exposed corruption in their industry.
too early and too fast…
She begins her 11 year sentence today. May 30.
Thanos in a blonde wig.
How is she going to be a victim? she fooled politicians and people who supposed to be smart. She did what those fake mofos in Morocco do, asking you money promising you to make you a king or their sick relative and the stupid send them money, it was the same and worse when she played with people’s life. She should have gotten life, 11 years is a joke.
The Valley of narcissistic hubris and fake personalities.
The thing is, she could have made millions authentically and would have been set for life even if her device failed; that is, if she knew her limits. But greed frequently overcomes a narcissist and they start resorting to criminal activity.
yeah no
05:02 Gary Gunn is right. One day, we will see this technology emerge as it is obvious, that despite initial errs in Holmes’ project, the public loves the idea and so the markets will develop something as close to possible to it’s vision. Unfortunately, down the road, when it comes to its fruition, she will only be mentioned as a tainted afterthought regarding it. It’s a similar thing to what Walter White faced.
She sold that “female Zuckerberg” to the hilt.
She constructed a fantasy world and moved in.
Elizabeth passes by
Everyone: Ohhhh…whats that smell? 🤧

Her eyes are unflattering
The Digitisation of blood testing cannot and will not be stopped by the calamity of Theronos. The lesson on personality presumption in the market place has to be an ongoing learning process, as long as there are people to learn it.
i think she got a much too little of a sentence…a lifetime sentence would’ve been more just.
No exuses, she tried to scam people and make money. The people who bought in and got hurt or was fooled by her lies is the people who pay for it. Guilty as charged and no exuses, a scam is a scam even if the scam have a nice face or voice as a front.
These “professional experts” looks and sounds like clowns when they defend a fraud/scam..
If this woman approached you in the parking lot of a walgreens with no shoes on talking about a great idea for a blood processing technology everyone would literally walk away. She looks like shes out of her fking mind.
You people are out of your mind. She knew all the time that the machine and the tech was not working and she allowed it to be sold and put in use with real persons, having INACCURATE BLOOD TEST RESULTS. How on Earth is SHE the victim? What kind of mind gymnastics are you doing, and expect people watching this piece of cr%p to believe you???
what’s up with that girl and her way of talking yuk 34:42
Her voice doesn’t fit her at all
Well, jury decided she knowiny and intentionally defrauded investors. She is a psychopath
Fake — until you don’t make it.
It’s time convicted women criminals get more severe sentences than men as ‘gender reparations’ for past prejudicial court rulings and sentencing favoring women.
I don’t get it. She was a student at Stanford for a year. When did she have time to first learn how to standardize
the reagents for allllll those tests? The exact same chemicals for a chem profile really would be Fantastic! But would that same ( small) sample be used for lipids and complete blood counts? Differential? Was the analyzer a spectrophotometer?
Donald trump tried very hard to steal the 2020 election
The idea is a good one. It wasn’t doable at this time. This would be a starring benefit in neonatalogy where you have to alternate tests because of limitations on the number of blood drops you can take in a day. Tiny babies don’t have much blood. There is probably someone thinking of her idea and how to make it successful.
I’ve heard she is the daughter of John C. Holmes the great actor.
I’m appalled by the “word salad” in this. Elizabeth Holmes told large lies, she hurt people in a real way. She knew what she was doing, she a con-artist, ( a dangerous one). I was not impressed watching this, no wonder she feels her behaviour was acceptable!
FRAUD. But as long as she says she is sorry I guess all you simps will forget and welcome her back.
Girl boss leveling up!
She had the best opportunity 😢hope to get it one day and use it correctly.
She should be in jail for life
People die because of her and the time she wasted and she did this for money 🤢🤮
That clown board member Warmenhoven is a weasel apologist who feels no shame for sitting on the board while all of this fraud was going on. None of them questioned anything Holmes was doing. The primary responsibility of the board members is to insure the company is viable and meeting its legal requirements ….. including protecting the shareholders.
Just called my broker and told him to sell all my Emron and put it all into Theranos! I expect to be rich by Christmas. 😁

That’s what happen when you let women take charge and let them do whatever they want
They should give frauds a lifetime in prison to set an example. It seems to happen too often.
Yahoo just can’t seem to figure out what it wants to be huh?
5 min in and i can tell, this is propaganda piece!!!I It’s disgusting to see people want to protect this swindler who had risks many people’s lives and we will ever know how many of them have died.
Do not feel sorry for this woman.
2:32 Wow, 😳 that’s some seriously wild eyes. She also regularly wore black turtlenecks to emulate Steve Jobs.
Interesting take that she is the victim. X to doubt on that one. But a good effort.
I’m thinking of a new startup the concept is fraud
Enjoy the slammer scammer!
She lost her multi-billion dollar company, credibility and her freedom.. but I wonder if what hurts her the most is knowing other companies have now successfully run with her idea. Karma
Yahoo Finance sounds like an effing scam itself
A biology professor at Stanford told her that such small blood samples could never be sufficient for blood testing and Holmes then dropped out so that she would need to hear such facts which were in conflict with her assertions. It’s nonsense that Holmes was misled or her testing methods were somehow doable. No other researchers are trying to create what Holmes was attempting to do
Its self-righteous manvoice is so annoying. And the likelihood of it doing any real prison time is low. Gotta wonder though how much of this fraud goes on unnoticed daily in the “investment” world. Business as usual…. 💸
The concept of shifting product testing away from the lab and into the public domain is how a company achieves true proof of concept. It was after Walgreens and the FDA opened their doors to this concept that the work really began to dismantle Theranos.
Shes a blonde woman from a prominent family, of course theyre gonna make excuses for her, that demon.
Yahoo Finance sucks lol
woman was a genius, men are just mad she beat them at their own game. modern medicine does exactly what she did, produce a product that isn’t fully tested, they just have learned how to not get caught.
all these “investors” forget to mention that they will get it back in tax deductions later. things the rest of us “normies” can’t do?!

This dude should earn that PhD in biochemistry in federal prison 😳
The woman is a criminal and greedy sociopath who jeopardized people’s lives. 11 years in a very soft open prison is insufficient punishment. If someone poor and unconnected had committed the same crime, it would have been life in Rikers!
“Vixen?” Are you kidding??? She’s not even attractive…
They call any blonde a breathtaking beauty. This woman looks like who did it and why.
Not sure what’s worse, her lying to the Board (and everyone else) or the fact that board members, specifically General Mattis, allowed themselves to be duped by a 20 year old dropout.
الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام.

So much of this video is just downright lies to protect Elizabeth Holmes.
Trying to blame the board and passing over Holmes’ “fake it to make it” actually being the norm in this world is just another level to her scheming – She consciously acquired board members whom weren’t experts in the field so they’d be more likely to just go along with decisions and trust what was happening.
Yea I don’t know about this sympathetic view of her. If you listen to many of her employees (whose stories were corroborated with multiple witnesses) and look into the kind of behavior she displayed from childhood right to the present, she just seems like a sociopath to me. Then of course recklessly pushing forward as her company literally risked peoples lives
WTF! Doable? Yes the vision is good, but the technology is SO FAR away! I think Iron Man’s armor is a good idea, but it is also 300 years into the future of technology!
bad people should feel good! and steal fuckloads money too
Knowing what you don’t know is evidence of intelligence
Amazing results as a results , huh this is a professor?
