Watch Yahoo Finance’s documentary on Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes: ‘Valley of Hype’ on August 30, 2021.
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.

I always found this interesting
Someday Elon Musk will be in the same seat.
He actually make working products though
Citadel…they deserve the throne 👏
@@user-kk4yv1ee4j Like the hiperloop? Or the solar shingles?
@@MonguzTea no, like cheaper space flights, reusable rockets, and electric cars that drive on the road. I’m not doubting that he has failures he’s not perfect but there is little merit to compare him with Elizabeth Holmes who raised Hundreds of Millions of dollars to come up with Fraud charges
@@MonguzTea Yes, HyperLoop is a death trap.

Some of these old rich investors were dumb, she was 19 YEAR OLD WITH NO COLLEGE DEGREE and pitching a device that cannot be made. I do more research when buying a dishwasher.
No research needed when scamming the others.
Research? Commonsense required! Her device was the size of a shoe box and could do 200+ blood tests accurately? A Siemens blood testing machine is the size of an office printer for a reason! You can’t break the rules of thermodynamics!
Also why do they extract so much blood just for a handful of tests? Because they need to in order to perform accurate tests! A pin prick for 200+ tests? Delusional no research required!
A pity some people have more money than brain cells!
Yeah, but, look at those eyes ♥ :O
@@SiliconBong she looks soulless lol, you see beauty in that?
@@Nohandlefool *sees her visage and swoons…
Ponzi scheme from a Stanford dropout worshipped as the next coming……next.
Bigger scam than will be revealed.
If she had been a mathematician, she must’ve been famous for the work in Lie theory…
The U.S. doesn’t want the EU currency and a strong Europe, so it doesn’t want Russia to join the EU, asking it not to join the single currency and then withdrawing from the EU.
If the EU were to join Russia, it would be the greatest superpower of all time.
I don’t think the Russians want to join the EU 😅
@@MargaritaMagdalena What if the EU opens its arms?
I believe she has balls too. Her voice is suspiciously low……
🤔🤔🤔 what else has she lied about???
is she a scammer?
Yes.
The baby she just had she better thank her investors for all the pampers
Clearly, she, like all the others are devil worshippers👎🏾💩👹
Interesting…Who is behind the building of this public figure? Just wondering…
How come nobody asks what would make someone need such a level of fame and fortune that they would take such enormous risks at misrepresenting themselves? That’s a level of desperation that comes from early life experiences and what mattered to their parents to such an extent that they feared exclusion if they did not ascent! Just look at the boyfriend Balwani to see a father figure. He was not a peer, but a missing father I suspect. Ironically, the statement above describes the father as an Enron exec, so it is not unlikely that he was the too-busy father she was hoping to attain the missing attention of! While she should certainly be reined in legally, she is an incredibly tragic figure who needed to make up a persona in the hopes of attention!
This story is only big news because of how wealthy and powerful the victims/marks were. Quit your bitching.
