A bloody scam: Theranos & the Elizabeth Holmes story
This week, Geordie & Michelle look at crazy rise and fall of Theranos - the scam blood-testing company that fooled the world... Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes went from 19-year-old Stanford dropout to billionaire CEO of Theranos in just a few short years, convincing investors, politicians and the public that she had revolutionised blood testing via one drop of blood — until journalists, scientists and former employees exposed what was REALLY happening behind the scenes. So buckle up as we look at the wild rise and even wilder fall of Theranos, Elizabeth’s fraud conviction and her current prison sentence – and with Elizabeth potentially moving to a halfway house next year and Nathan Fielder’s newly released bizarre documentary You Can See Everything putting her back in the spotlight, the Theranos story clearly isn’t over yet. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat Theranos, flu remedies, outspoken musicians and more on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast.
