Opinion | The Sexism That Led to the Elizabeth Holmes Trial - The New York Times

The op-ed is shit. Pao throws in whataboutism and she doesn't even bother to explain how Holmes isn't actually a criminal and a con artist.

Elizabeth Anne Holmes (born February 3, 1984) is an American former businesswoman who was the founder and chief executive of Theranos, a now-defunct health technology company. Theranos soared in valuation after the company claimed to have revolutionized blood testing by developing testing methods that could use surprisingly small volumes of blood, such as from a fingerprick. By 2015, Forbes had named Holmes the youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaire in America on the basis of a $9-billion valuation of her company. The next year, following revelations of potential fraud about Theranos's claims, Forbes had revised its published estimate of Holmes's net worth to zero, and Fortune had named her one of the "World's Most Disappointing Leaders".
I love how she tries to argue that 70 people dying from Juuls is comparable to the Uber, WeWork, and Theranos shenanigans.
Theranos is prolly the least bad of them? They just scammed people
um I think a bunch of people were given faulty tests by Theranos partnership with Walgreens? causing bad medical decisions. I dunno specifically because I am only one chapter into Bad Blood but that's what I remember from the Netflix doc
Ah, I thought they remained in prototype state
"In January 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) sent a letter to Theranos based on an inspection of its Newark, California lab in 2015, reporting that the facility caused "immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety" due to a test to determine the correct dose of the blood-thinning drug warfarin." Giving people fraudulent medical tests based on imaginary non-existent technology, doesn't get much sicker than that.
