This is a lot of people online. Lying about results
In 2015 Elizabeth Holmes was worth $4.5 billion. She told CBS she didn't own a TV because she worked every waking hour.
When people questioned her blood tests, she had an answer ready.
In the video below, she says that if your invention gets questioned, "that's a sign you've actually done something transformative."
Her company Theranos claimed it could run hundreds of tests from one drop of blood. Walgreens put it in stores. Investors put in over $700 million. Henry Kissinger sat on her board.
The machines never worked. Most tests were secretly run on regular lab equipment. Patients got wrong results about cancer, HIV and pregnancies.
In 2022 she was convicted of fraud. She is serving more than 11 years in federal prison.
The questions she called a sign of success were the truth the whole time.
Was she a liar from the start, or a believer who couldn't admit she failed?
