    Thanks for posting this, I didn't realize that the book had come out and I've been looking forward to it. The Theranos story is fascinating to me, how long they were able to keep stringing investors, journalists, and even employees along through some crazy deceptions.

    This was an article I read a few months back that I think was a good demonstration of the types of behavior they were up to: https://khn.org/news/reporters-notebook-the-tale-of-theranos-and-the-mysterious-fire-alarm/
