“Little is known about how Theranos tests work” That line has aged… lol

Never trust a person who never blinks.

What a nice lady! Theranos looks like it's going to truly change the world for the better. I sure hope she isn't lying about literally everything.

“Healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy “ Yep she nailed that one.

Her eyes freak me out

The fact that anyone believed her with zero evidence is shocking

I remember watching this on the news and my parents both said , “how can you get that many results with such a small amount of blood?” 😂😂

“Little is known about how Theranos tests work” *looks at the camera like I’m on the office*

This aged like milk.

“She had a little money and a big idea” Correction: she grew up with a multimillion dollar trust fund and billionaire family friends. This allowed her to never need a 9-5 job to pay the bills and easily get access to funding for her “idea”

The reason she succeeded is because in society we are in love with the idea of a young dropout showing up all the "fogeys with PhDs" who said "it can't be done". Again and again we refuse to believe boring experts and pick the maverick instead. There will be plenty of more Elizabeth Holmes because fundamentally we are anti-intellectual and resent real expertise.

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!

The fact that she managed to fool so many people for over a decade is pure madness.

Honestly, I would go to a professional for blood diagnostics. This company is going to be hit up with lawsuits for false negatives and false positives.

Update . . . She's in jail . . .

This lady seems very trustworthy and competent! There is no chance her company's technology is an elaborate fraud and she's the medical industry's Bernie Madoff. Give this woman 9 billion dollars and don't ask questions!

Interviewer: how does it work? Holmes: we've created a small tube to replace the big tube. *Interviewer stunned*

Didnt anyone notice she never gave any details about the process?

The moment I heard that voice I knew something wasn't right. Had a strong feeling that she was lying the entire time, just a pure GUT feeling. Surprised so many people didn't get the same feelings when looking at her and watching her speak. And the media LOVED her, so that was also a huge red flag.

This story shows how gullible the media is.

That fact that anyone, including news media, would believe a college dropout could make medical innovations that PhDs couldn't achieve is scary... We should all be more skeptical of people like her

I didn't follow this story back then but looking at it now, as a doctor, it's absolutely terrifying. How did ANYONE fall for this?!?!

She's not even blinking 😂

She literally gave no information as to how it works.

She dropped out of Stanford after 2 semesters, knows nothing about lab protocols and techniques but you can see her wearing a lab coat. Watch out, this must be a true scientist!

She has all of the characteristics of a typical CEO, politician, or con artist. She spoke, without telling you any real information, and the investors bought it.

I can understand why you might be shocked by the story of Elizabeth Holmes and her company, Theranos. It's certainly a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and unethical behavior. You put what I thought in my mind, perfectly into words that make so much sense! All the best on your entrepreneurial journey!

It's sad that a big reason people wanted to see her succeed is that she was a young, driven woman, and she ended up setting a horrible example for young girls and women.

She literally doesn't answer ANY question. None. She really does rely on the interviewers lack of knowledge about biomedical science.

This seems ground breaking! Conrats to Holmes she seems very smart and trustworthy and not deceitful at all. Been awhile but Im sure they are just finishing things up in the lab 😊

She should have been a politician and never got caught Lol

It's interesting to hear terms like "self made" and "perseverance" when talking about someone who was born a millionaire. It's like words don't mean anything.

I gotta hand it to her: she's an excellent liar. Every answer she gives not only seems to make sense (despite barely being an answer at all), but also conveniently throws out an idea which feels exciting. It feels straight to the point, but it's actually a misdirection. If anyone's wondering how she managed to manipulate the entire world, that's how

She was never actually a real billionaire. She never had a billion dollars in her bank account. She was on the path of becoming a billionaire because of her company's high valuation. But until an entrepreneur actually gets the opportunity to sell stock for cash, it's not at all accurate to call them a "billionaire". The process of obtaining real money can take years and sometimes it doesn't pan out even when there's no fraud.

Manipulation is the powerful weapon in business She knew what she was doing

If i was a filmmaker i would hire her for horror movies

CBS is probably like, "should we leave this up?"

This didn't age well 🙄

Amanda Seyfried did a great job impersonating her terrible voice 🤣🤣🤣

Just so everyone knows: You can drop out of Stanford and re-enter whenever you want. My friend dropped out in 1994 and went back in 2005. They're one of the few universities in the country with that policy.

How anyone could believe that a college dropout with no medical or biomedical training could come up with medical miracles is beyond me. There really is a sucker born every minute.

well this aged beautifully

That 👁 contact she’s giving me is frightening

It looks like she's trying not to malfunction.

“Who says that when they’re 9 years old?”...a 9 year old psychopath

I still can’t believe that media wasn’t at all skeptical about her credibility.

2:08 cocaine? Wasn’t expecting to see that lol.

Amanda Seyfried has really nailed her character. Incredible acting performance.

As a female with a naturally deep voice, we don't claim her...

The journalists who promoted her should also go to jail.

Wow, very inspirational.. I really wish this young lady the best in her endeavors and may she prosper with her quest to help people in need. Nov. 25, 2022

It's going to be tough for Jennifer Lawrence to do her voice when Hollywood makes a movie about her rise and fall.

"We've created these little tiny tubes" ... lol... that's about all they created :) congratulations!

Zero doctors on the Board...

When the adderall has taken over the brain. Pure psycho.

I think the media should also be held responsible for their faulty reporting and lazy investigating.

only problem is that this technique does not work...

I mean she didn't mean to scam them. She seemed like she actually believed this would work. They decided to invest in the product.

“How does it work?” “So we got these tubes...” Yes, we have eyes & we can see tubes. But. How. Does. It. Work? What they should have asked.

The comment section is gold; amazing how many viewers could clock the fact that holmes was a sociopathic fraud - and were proven right. Or maybe it was just the awful eyeliner, cheesy turtlenecks and phony baritone.

Having worked with toxic “start up entrepreneurs” before, her behavior is much much more than common. It’s disgusting how theses types of people can influence others 🤢

This aged well.

"So how does it work?" the interviewer asks. "Little tiny tubes." No further questions about the technology? Just tiny tubes?

She didn't answer the question about if it drew enough blood for several tests.

I can remember when I first saw Elizabeth Holmes I thought to myself that there was something wrong with her. No one 'normal' has eyes that wide, without blinking, all the time.

thats gotta be embarrassing looking back. They wanted her to be the bestest girl boss when she was a total phony.

To be fair some of the medical experts have doubts on her claims, especially since she hasn't disclosed how her company can pull it off.

I work in healthcare and the first time I heard about this, my reaction was a mix of amazement and fear. 10% amazed at the idea and 90% being fear as I knew this was never gonna work.

she will now go to jail for a long time ,

I'm just here looking for comments from the original upload but their all hiding

she look tense, her eyes almost never blink.

what's odd about her demeanor is that I think she actually believes she is a visionary even thought some part of her brain probably knows it's all a fraud, perhaps some kind of split personality disorder.

Why does she have that Mark Zuckerberg look in her eyes lol

"So how does it work?" Holmes "Nanotubes"

She is Milli Vanilli of Biotech. LOL

Elizabeth’s case is a classic example of the phrase “it’s easier to fool someone than to convince them that they have been fooled”. I think Elizabeth came in at just the right time. People were making the unimaginable happen in tech and she was able to ride that wave. Then, once these intelligent and prominent people had jumped on the band wagon, they had to keep believing in her rather than admit to themselves and the world that they had been fooled. It’s also true that sometimes you’re a hero or a villain based upon the outcome. If Holmes had done things exactly as she had but by some happy accident her tech had worked, I wonder how this story would have been framed. Is our real problem with Holmes all of the unethical behavior or simply that she failed?

Pioneer, Visionary 😂😂 Yes she is a visionary in fooling you guys

If anyone is wondering why so many believed Holmes & gave her money, just look at the way they describe her being a woman succeeding in a male dominated environment. She even promotes this idea herself. It's this political BS. Thats why.

"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed." -- Mark Twain

How did people not know her voice was fake 😂 It literally sounds like when they distort voices on videos to hide the person's identity.

If you cannot confrotably hold a specimen container means that container isn't safe to use. I am confused how she managed to get through so many medical errors.

I don't know why no one simply compared 1000 people with the classic approach and with their approach?

@4:13 - She says her dad was moving the family to Texas. What the story doesn’t mention is that he was moving to Houston, Texas to take the job as VP of Enron.

2:16 Didnt answer the question, that was the reveal right there

This aged well 👀

This is so surreal to watch in 2024

It's funny that she didn't achieve anything solid, but the media portrayed her as some famous successful celebrity. Don't they know of this saying, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch?"

She tries way too hard to be Steve Jobs.

The fact that she thought she'd get away with it is astounding

am I the only one person that prefers the needle to a pick in the finger? I have no problem with a professional taking out blood. From my arm , I get more anxious about the pick on the finger and then the squished , it hurt more actually.

It's actually pretty impressive that she built a $9,000,000,000 company. If she had done half of that honestly, she would still be a top entrepeneur.

After following through all of her interviews, I noticed her bizarre behaviors; she turned totally red whenever she was asked about her technologies and she actually had to explain about that. In addtiotion, she turned away her eyes from interviewers. All these are typical behaviors people show when they are lying. Her voice souned much less compelling and determined than in situations where she talked about her (mythical) vision, (fake) conviction, (hilarious) motivation, passion (gambling) for healthcare, and her then-status as the youngest self-made female billionaire etc. She should have chosen her career in politics, gambling, marketing or something. She could have been something.

She gets pregnant twice to avoid jail, what a true narcissist

Someone should have told her that she’d one day get more than 11 years in prison for fraud

“Little is known about how Theranos test work” Pretty much the thoughts of everyone who worked on the project.

Her dad worked for Enron. She knew a good scam when she saw one.

This video aged like gas station sushi

Her luck is running out. She will supposedly be in a minimum federal prison on May 30 as she awaits the decision of her appeal.

*former billionaire. Indicted today.

What really fun is sorting to older comments from when this video first came out seeing how many people were actually able to spot that this was all bs. It’s actually impressive
