Why have I spent my Saturday watching dozens of videos about this woman?

Theranos sounds like a company formed by Thanos to destroy the universe

She looks like Zuckerberg's robotic twin sister.

She could have tried politics instead. Perfectly cut for it 😊

The gig is up. Someone should tell her it's ok to start using her real voice now.

I love that the closing attitude is 'oh she was such a rockstar. It's too bad what happened to her.' She's a criminal snake-oil salesman. Don't make it out like it's a case of a good person down on their luck. She was a slime ball.

“I’m a dropout” Why do people idolize that? Lol

She's proven to the whole world that anyone could be a CEO.

Judge : Do you swear to tell the true ? Holmes: (fake her voice ) I do Hahahahahahaha that cyborg girl killed me

My father is a medical professional and was telling me about a book somebody wrote about this whole fiasco. Apparently board members and many former employees agree she is extremely manipulative, and was completely irrational to the point of possible mental illness. I’m reading the book when he’s finished, sounds like an insane story.

i don’t condone her actions or think they are by any means ethical but i think this story is a really fascinating showcase of how corrupt our healthcare system is at large. the fact that she wasn’t caught sooner and she managed to fool so many people for so long when she truly knew nothing is remarkable and i think there are other people at fault aside from her.

“The woman called the next steve jobs” never heard of her until now

Millions of dollars from this and just 20 years in prison? I see people do 20 years for a few $100 bills of coacaine.

As a 26 year old entrepreneur, i was looking for inspiring business movies or series to watch. It is now 3 AM, i could not stop binging The Dropout series. I stumbled onto this without diving too deep in the trailers. During episode 1,2 and 3 i was rooting for Elizabeth because the entrepreneurial spirit it takes to overcome obstacles. About 4 episodes in i started hating this woman with every fiber in me. By the time she changed her voice to be more "deep" i was about to pull my hair out. Can you imagine the bone chilling shock i got at the end of episode 8 when they started listing the real-life case updates, it was literally just then that i realized this was a real life event. I am young and not from the US, so i never heard of Theranos or the real Elizabeth. This is insane on a level unimaginable. Elizabeth, you are a disgrace to all Women, Humanity and the entire Entrepreneur Society. The fact that even after all this, you can remain cool about your crimes proves you are a psychopathic monster with alien eyes, a demons hart and an insufferable pretentious voice. I hope justice prevails in honor of all lives lost, families ruined financially or in health. F YOU!

Her dad was the VP of Enron. I can kind of see where she gets her morals from

Don't drop out of school kids, not everyone can be bill gates. Lesson learned.

it is a fake voice - she speaks deeper on purpose

She seems to be on the edge of sanity.

This woman knew that her blood testing equipment didn't work and she went live anyway. This woman is a monster!

Her eyes are as large as those of anime characters.

She definitely deserves at least 30 years. Healthcare fraud has to have the highest possible punishment.

Damn. I forgot about her until I saw her mentioned in Fyre Fraud. She really was the media’s darling at her peak.

Everyone: - Elizabeth Holmes: 🧿👄🧿💉

5 hours of testimony and ABC has to play the same 10 seconds over and over.

Lol. She is a fraud. Her company was a fraud She should rot in jail

Shes got that constant doe eyed + uncanny valley look to her.

“[...] her company was worth 10 billion dollars.” It was _valued_ *by investors and market analysts* at 10 billion, yes. It was worth only the potential of what it could be, and everyone completely overestimated this potential.

3:56 "I think eventually the company would have been a great success if it had been allowed to run" - How could he possibly say that? Their machines simply didn't work, its components interfered with one another due to proximity, blood sample sizes were so small they had to be diluted to give (bad) results, and the company manufactured tests/didn't do any tests at all...so basically, given infinite amount of time, this company would eventually succeed in revolutionizing technology? What? Its like the infinite monkey theorem: "a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare."

"She is already seeking money to start her next company." STOP, DON'T LET HER DO IT!!! We first want to either come clean or spend the rest of her life in jail for playing with peoples' lives. A crime is a crime.

She is not only forcing her voice, also her blinking, she usually never blinks but here she does in order to appear more trustable

It was always a delusion. As an engineer I can tell you that in cases like these you often do not need the back of a napkin to calculate the impossibility. In my career I have several times performed some simple calculations and shown something was not feasible. She had been told by several people that what she was doing was not scientifically possible, but she ignored them. All she was doing was miniaturizing already established processes. If it could be done, the commercial machines she purchased to fake results would have been miniaturized by their engineers. I am not sure she knows how science and engineering work.

I remember seeing her on a cover of some magazine. Thinking she's got it all and is super smart but also thinking how the heck did she come up with a technology that did all those tests with a single drop of blood. It was too good to be true.

That chick freaks me out. She's like a character out of a King novel. I have the same feeling when I go to a friends house whose wife collects dolls. They never blink and it feels like they all are staring at me.

Can You Imagine? Lying for Financial Gain! I Would Never Believe it:)

When someone tells you “I don’t lie”, that’s a red flag, they are actually liars. People try to create credibility with words not actions. That’s what we are seeing with her.

Zuckerber and Holmes compete at who says the most “I don’t know” when they’re under Oath.

I can remember when CNBC was fawning all over Thanos

How in the world could any pharmacy, drug company, or board member throw money at someone who has absolutely no medical experience???? Insane.

I'm obsessed with this case somehow.

1:56 "Not only did they fool investors, they fooled patients, they fooled doctors." They fooled themselves too. It appears that Elizabeth built up a grand narrative about what her life would be, and convinced herself so strongly that she would meet that vision of herself, that she ended up convincing herself that it was all going to work out to support that vision, that self-perception. In the deposition and on the street after it all fell apart, she looks extremely dazed. Like she's woken up from a long dream. It's good to have aspirations but to identify this strongly with them... the damage she's done to others and herself... powerful stuff.

Lock her up. You know you are dealing with someone dangerous when they lie under oath. She is a liar. She has No remorse and continues to lie.

Are they dummies or real people behind in the studio 🤔🤔?

This was painful to watch... Everybody falling for the stare.. and the voice! Whenever someone stares at me like that I know they're up to something. How dumb can you get.

When that Lawyer says that if the company had enough time they would have gotten the tech to work. That is a LIE! The machine would/could Never work the way they were selling it.

Nasty human being. She should be in jail for 100 years. She did her best to make money from the most vunerable patients in society. Glad she is found out. Ill gotten gains never prosper. Bye girl :-))

How can Ms Holmes still able to look for new investors for her new project and she has been allowed to move on with her life after the damage what she has done to all this innocent people. Are you kidding me? From WIkipedia "On June 15, 2018, following an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco that lasted more than two years, a federal grand jury indicted Holmes and former Theranos COO and president Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors allege that Holmes and Balwani engaged in two criminal schemes, one to defraud investors, the other to defraud doctors and patients"

How could she get passed the medical community? HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE?!😲😳

How come she dropped out without completing any medical degree to set up a company that gambled with the lives of people? It's healthcare. You do not become a professional without completing the degree.

How do we watch the full testimony?

Does she ever blink?

“We are the only lab company focused on transparency” LOL

I watched the documentary about this scam. I was absolutely astonished that she did not say one single concrete thing, not one. the full length of the film She was talk, talk, talk; saying nada ya da ya da. In keeping with this lack of substance, she strolled and yammered through door and after door, which took us nowhere. I became terribly embarrassed for the men who praised her, adored her, thought she was so intelligent. Based on what? Something she said? (I don't know how she did, it, but boy did she ever! To this day, I wonder how and when she realized she had this dubious, astonishing skill-set. When was the turning point when she decided to play it for all it was worth....billions. Until caught.) She gave nothing. Zip. The worm never left the hook. The men in her harem freely talked among themselve about her, so how did it happen that not one of them recognized that the emprincess had no clothes. They enthusiastically agreed that she looked just fab in her new "clothes." Tres chic, very smart. So, they dreamily content themselves by filling the gaps of her story, undaunted that the gaps gaped. A mere abyss. No worries. I think the most unsettling part was that I was forced to acknowledge that old saw that men think with their phalus...all the time. I've thought, well, yes, but only sometimes. I underestimated by only all the time! Had I done what these men did, attribute intelligence, artificially., where it was utterly lacking? Why I believe I did! It appears that I was as delusional as those hapless and hormonal tweens. Stupid is as stupid does.

Her idea was not going to save lives. Her idea is to tell customers without health insurance or customers that want to save money from going to see actual doctor using an over the counter test to test for any diseases or cancers or issues in health by blood droplet test. It was not like her idea was going to cure anything or change the world but, just make more profitable business to take away profits from hospitals.

Everyone who supported her and wrote glowing stories about her should also be charged

Look at them eyes 👀 you can tell she lying about something omg 😂

"When we asked if why you dropped out of Stanford was to save peoples lives was true, the lie detector determined THAT was a lie."

The amount of manipulation she's done is just mind blowing

Now she's playing dumb.

There was probably like....10's of tests !!!

Say what you like about her, this woman is a master of illusion with a power to persuade anyone.

Elizabeth Holmes is the greatest Boston Dynamics creation ever!

Of course Jim Cramer supported this !!!

I love when people talk about her voice in each of the youtube videos she is in.

Elizabeth: *I dont know anything.*

She’s either a sociopath or psychopath

damn that's a deep voice,thats a dude!

How anyone thought at 19 she was some experienced genius is beyond me!!!!!!!!!! I would never have bought that BS……………….

E. Holmes needs to rot in jail for playing with patients lives.

Im pretty sure someone does voiceovers for her

She would never talk about the science; only lofty platitudes about “passion”

thanks abc great coverages

03:35 Those eyes tell a story 😳

She needs to go to jail.

Investors didn’t even ask for a test before investing millions 😅

3:44 Sunny: one small step Lawyers: you are the boss

Crazy how they gave her a so much exposure before they figured it out lol

She has those "I have no soul behind my eyes..." eyes that sociopaths typically have.

At 3:28 Blink biatch, blink already! That no blinking is freaky as hell.... where she's actually going. lol

Too good to be true often is just that. Too good of a story.

Dropout to inmate. What a touching story

Why do they keep referring to her as „Elizabeth“ in the Clip? If it were about „Zuckerberg“ or „Jobs“, they wouldnt say „Mark“ or „Steve“ either. Another Double Standard of how this woman is described as a victim with good Intentions rather than a simple criminal

She is a college drop out...with no medical degree why the HECK did anyone believe her to be a leader in the health care field? Seriously, where was the follow up questions and digging? She should have started a business like enron, where nothing has to be produced.

The business model did not even make sense if it did work. We can already do “panels” of tons of lab tests grouped together pretty cheaply...and this test-everyone-for-everything does more harm than good and is actively discouraged. Even if correct 99.9% of time, 200 plus per person unfocused testing will create a huge amount of false positives, with all the patient stress and added healthcare costs to go with them. For example, in a clinic I worked in, a patient who tested himself for everything was told he had high arsenic levels. After a huge work-up and tons of worry, it turned out to be due to a seafood meal, which can cause arsenic positive tests with no poisoning.

Psychopaths sometimes come in pretty packages!

Never trust a company that's two letters away from "Thanos".

"I'm Batman"

Shane brought me hereeee! Who else?!

Wow! That's a great transformation, into a plain simple girl.

'I just don't know' & 'I don't know exactly what the number was' LOL

Those are crazy eyes. They're so wide open and barely blink.

A basic understanding of science is all that was needed to know how ridiculous her claims were. If they claimed one or a few tests could be done with a drop of blood is believable. Claiming 100s can be done is ridiculous.

Not guilty???? She is deluded!

I’d love to see the whole deposition but unfortunately can’t find it anywhere. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Why do I feel like she was trying to portray Tom Cruise trying to be Steve Jobs. 😂

If Elizabeth had been using some sort of substance, like too much caffeine or maybe cocaine or something like that, this would be one way to explain how things got out of control. Either she was not thinking like her normal self, be it from sleep deprivation, some substance, or the hypo-manic state that the kind of success she seemed to be having can do to a lot of normal people, either she was not thinking rationally, or she's a sociopath, I believe it has to be one or the other. There are solutions for those things. But she shouldn't be starting a new company until she gets to the bottom of things.

Some of the craziest stuff about this today is that she _still_ got to keep some of her awards, got to keep some money, and there are people out there (admittedly mostly women) who think she just got screwed over and still see her as an inspiration... lol.

It’s super weird that they have viewers in the background of their set.

Rebecca Jarvis did a remarkable job on this project.

She looks scared. Hope she goes to prison.

This is what happens when you want to invest as a PR move and not with your head.
