The fact that this company sold their device to medical doctors and pharmacies without ever being independently tested by a peer-reviewed medical journal says a lot about the American healthcare "industry."
They didn't sell their machine to doctors. Theranos had their own stores where people could walk in and requested for blood tests. The tests were done at Theranos HQ. In other videos there's an interview of a patient who used their service and was given the wrong results.
Well walgreens was going to use their machine even after the guy they hired to see if it worked literally told them there were major issues! Walgreens basically were like who cares guy we hired we're going to make a lot of money from this. So goes to show you that there's probably a LOT of medicine and machines that get approved all because of greed. And now I don't trust hospitals because of this story.
Zuckerberg seems like he's genuinely on the high end of the autism/Asperger's spectrum. This conwoman is just putting on a act. This is how she thinks a young Silicon valley entrepreneur should dress, act and speak.
An employee actually killed themselves over the Theranos thing. It was a biochemist, the one who was trying to give actual real advice on how to make Edison (the small lab machine) work properly. They kept undermining him and telling him to lie in a court case. Rest in peace Ian Gibbons.
@@almaalvarez5230 unfortunately she is not paying for her actions. She is happily living with a rich guy in California. That's the USA justice system for you.
I read she did that voice to appear more "masculine" as a female in that type of role people can easily be sexist so by making her voice deeper and more resemble men, she would seem more authoritative
The book about this is a great read. Her faking a deep voice is hilarious as well as her trying to imitate Jobs with the black turtleneck. She belongs in jail.
nysguy07 so its true that her deep voice is fake? I find her so fascinating, what she tried to do and fooling so many people!! How humiliating for her investors! 🤣🤣🤣

It's proven that a deeper voice commands greater authority from others. It's a business move and a smart one at that. Men do it to. What's wrong with trying to enhance your chances of success? The wrong she did was lying about efficacy of her product, not personal image.
The Charlize of 15-20 years ago would have been perfect. Hollywoods makeup department can still pull it off though. She has to be the first choice. Not sure she can drop her voice that many octaves, so yes, JE Jones to do the dubbing!
@@dogsmusicbookstravelscience Of course Charlize can! Look at how easily she got rid of her South African accent. Unless you know her story, you'd never guess Charlize wasn't born and raised here in the U.S.
@@ilovegoodsax, yeah, I know she can! She's much older than Holmes so that's an issue, but I know she has the acting chops. After all, I'm South African and an ex-flame of mine went to school with her in Benoni. So I know her story quite well too..
Hard to see, when her company had a 9 billion valuation and personal 5 billion worth, she couldn't think of a way to fix the predicament before it went haywire. Why did she fall this way? An idiot!
Half the technology she claimed is theoretically impossible, the other half is several decades away from existing, yet no one questioned it. Interesting.
That's what made it such a compelling pitch. The combination of current technology grounded in reality, and exciting technology that's just over the horizon.
As much as I loathe this woman for the damage she caused, I really hope the documentary has the balls to shine a harsh light on the board members that were happy to pocket the money and lend their names to this hoax without doing due diligence. This would never have become such a massive business without their greedy, self serving incompetence.
And how taken in people were by nice appearances and personal charisma, which are huge issue in today’s superficial social media landscape, where clout matters more than results. Places like Silicon Valley and Wall Street seem especially prone to this.
MariaVosa Actually, it was the International Socialist & Co's Goebbelsian media and its front groups like feminism championing Elizabeth Holmes as a sacred cow, the first coming of a female Jesus Christ, accusing dissenters as "mahoganists" and "mah-soggy-knees" 👌🏻
Are they greedy or incompetent? Since the funding was going to capital expenditures and not lining pockets, I am having trouble reconciling how they can be both. Also, what about the other investors? They obviously did as little due dilligence as the board members.
I think Rosamund would do a great job. I think makeup would make her look young. But don't underestimate Jennifer Lawrence. She will nail it. I think she is a great actress that just hasn't had a whole bunch of great roles. But she was great in winter's bone and I'm sure she will get the role right. I just wonder if her eyes are big enough lol. Shel'll have to look surprised the whole movie lol
Happens all the time. I'm a molecular biologist and I can tell you many companies make statements that are definitely not true or even possible. Dove makes claims about microbiota that don't even make sense and no one even questions it
In terms of the initial investments & money put into the research & production of this, I do understand, to a certain extent, why people took her word for it. Cos you can't really expect someone to have a working prototype for something like this until significant money has been invested because producing advanced technology and employing the necessary scientists is very expensive. And, especially with medical technology which could have dreadful impacts if released too prematurely, it often takes years to develop something and put it through the necessary checks to ensure there aren't any issues. So I don't think those things would necessarily be red flags on their own. A lot of successful companies won't reveal specific details about how they resolved certain issues in their product that other versions on the market have (especially during development) in order to maintain their monopoly on the market. I expect she used this to get away with being more vague. During production, she could probably answer the more simple questions, was usually clear spoken & appeared confident (she definitely managed to sway a lot of people by talking) and she'd just avoid talking about unknowns by claiming she couldn't reveal that or pretending an issue was much closer to being resolved than it was. So I do kinda get why people didn't realise and just believed her...mind, I'm speaking as someone who is relatively uneducated on investments into start-up medical companies and maybe someone with that as their job should know better, I don't know. I think also people didn't want to miss out on what sounded like the invention of the decade. She presented herself like the next Steve Jobs and nearly everyone else was talking positively about this company and how it would revolutionise medicine. Some probs thought it seemed slightly suspicious but figured it was worth the risk because they assumed it must work since it appears so successful and it would be a mistake not to get in on such a big industry early.
@@wokenepali8376 first of all correct your language second of all she does fake her voice because you can tell in an interview she strains her voice to sound deep

So this really happened. I interviewed for a clinical scientist position at this company just a couple of months after the WSJ article came out suspecting them of manipulating data.. I asked the HR manager if there is anything that I need to be concerned about and he brushed it off saying companies get such negative publicity from competitors when they are successful and there is nothing to it.. still, I had my reservations and I declined to proceed further in the interview process. Glad I made that decision then. Whew!
What I am most interested is how people reacted before she got caught. How we perceived her voice, her persona, actions ... because after the show is over, everyone talks rubbish about these particular traits. Bottom line she is a pure narcissist. Very methodical, without shame or guilt. Funny thing, we can find this types of character, more or less in many people today.
She is so full of herself that it's mind boggling. She is seen looking over, and handling a vial of blood from a tray of vials. She has absolutely no idea what she's looking at. She knows Mandarin, and knows nothing else. She doesn't have an AA degree, much less a university. No knowledge. She knew it didn't work because it didn't work.
She could easily be a major antagonist in any horror / thriller movie now that she's banned from being a CEO. She just has to play the same character as she played when she was at Theranos
This woman is the pure definition of a psychopath in every single way, and this entire situation puts the real intentions of pharma into the limelight and public view.
Unike Ms. Holmes, Steve Jobs had an actual product. ...well, not just one. And unlike Ms. Holmes, Steve Jobs never was the inventor, only the promoter, the driver. The inventions, the products came from actual professionals with actual work experience.
Holmes isn't even a technical expert. Jobs although untrained academically was coached by some of the best and the company ensured he was well informed so that his ideas were actually feasible. This is down to his tenacity to learn and execute what can be achieved. Holmes on the other hand had no real working model. Having a black box will not do at all. Instead of raising 200M, what she should have done is to raise much lesser and work with that and report failure when it needed to have been disclosed. Going to the public to raise funds requires a FULLY validated prototype at least, bare minimum by third party authorized testers and validators. What she had done was convince people and the public that she had that wonder machine. Of course if it had worked she would have been a billionaire. But it did not so she cannot and should not go to the public to raise funds.
The important difference between an iPod or a buggy app and a medical device is if the formers don't work, you shrug and go on with your lives. Mistakes in the medical device space get you burried. Large pharmaceutical companies have their shares of mistakes, no doubt; however, the ones thay survived have a diverse range of products to fall back on.
She was not the first one, neither will she be the last person to sell impossible dreams. The least we can do is remember her so we can guard ourselves against such sociopaths.
This is a expose, which is needed, to make people aware of such fraud but a commercial movie which I heard in making is unnecessary that will definitely give her pop-culture attention.
it should. The idea is good.. a small device that does lots of tests that take many big and expensive machines. Get these devices to pharmacies, and in people's homes. The execution failed, because they couldn't even do 12% of the promised tests, and was built too small, so it had heating issues, and the different devices inside were interfering with each other in other ways (magnetic, electromagnetic, etc...) Anyone who brough to light the problems, were fired and gag ordered with NDA or worse... you can get more detail from the other videos on youtube covering this....
@@ConstitutionalRepublicStands They should have made it bigger and put a fan inside as they do with computers to prevent overheating and they make different devices to test different diseases. It should be done for rare and common diseases. Devices for rare diseases should be given to hospitals while those for common ones are given to doctors and the public.
Per McKay apparently they're not even gonna start shooting until this fall, so probably spring 2020 is a better bet. Hope the doc is good in the meantime lol
She's a narcissistic asshole. I understand that's a compelling character for a good actor like Lawrence to tackle, but Holmes doesn't deserve to be glamorized by being portrayed by someone as beautiful and inherently sympathetic as Jennifer Lawrence. No matter how dark Lawrence's portrayal may be, Holmes will inevitably take it as a compliment.
I notice the excessive use of the word "revolutionary" in every infomercials selling useless junks. Sadly, there is a large segment of society that falls for these types of marketing.
This documentary is brilliant. It makes real journalism as thrilling as any made-for-TV entertainment; and leaves you with a point of view. Now we need Alex Gibney to do the same for US health care, the pharmaceutical industry, banking, mortgage lending, Trump...ridicule wrapped inside devastating reporting using the absurd words and images of the subject.
The level of balls it takes to keep a charade up to this level is what fascinates me. Like what goes through someone’s mind to get to that level of confidence. Reminds me of the guy that tried buying the Islanders in 1996
It is so sad how this woman could’ve been the next Silicon Valley genius, but instead she turned out to be a monstrous scammer. I hope we get to witness the rise of an authentic female Silicon Valley mastermind soon.
Bro she probably got her highschool "straight A" notes paid by her parents. For god's sake, if she was really smart she would never done this scandal for being recognized in science.
I worked for this company and they watched every move we made, even monitored our Facebook, they had a camera on the all the computers where they watched us and listened to us, they wanted to make sure we were not telling patients the truth and we were all instructed to lie to them as well, it was intimidating and creepy!
That is insane. I would have just quit and then told everyone everything through like anonymous notes to various agencies or something lol. Even so, keeping something so big a secret by everyone seems kind of impossible. Didn't someone talk or say something to someone?
Cancer cells are not in our blood. Cancer cells do not travel via the blood or lymph system. Testing your blood over a period of a few months only shows a person's level of white blood cells which only indicates inflammation/infection, which could be normal, and could also be anything from arthritis to an ingrown hair, a sharp increase in readings, after a few months, would indicate something's going on, but it can't tell you where or what, it just leaves a person terrified.
Her idea would have been revolutionary had it worked, but she willingly put her devices in stores knowing full well they didn't. She's not going to be remembered as the icon she envisioned, but an icon for all the wrong reasons. This woman deserves to go to prison for a very long time, but I fear there will be political pressure to go easy on her. We'll see.
Ideas like this have been a dream for decades but this scumbag took it as her and sold it. Why didn't she get life in prison? Because she is a woman. Jeez
1:55 she blinks a lot when the reporter asks for her to tell them a secret. She RARELY blinks. This is a sign she is lying when she said she doesn't have many secrets.
A lot of people miss the point that SV is actually a dark comedy of life in the Bay Area tech scene. The irony is I've come across a lot of high school & college kids who think the elements/characters of the sitcom are things to emulate, not avoid, & have a rose-tinted view of the tech scene. I wonder if the name Pied Piper is an in-joke? After all, the pied piper in the legend lured young people to their doom with his songs that promised a better place.
This was a great documentary. I always wanted to understand exactly what this woman had done and wow, I was completely shocked. Our health industry is a joke. This was absotutely terrifying giving this person that much power for rarely giving you any true medical data watsoever.
I can’t wait to see this documentary film. Can’t believe how good she was at telling lies. However, I do believe one day we will have a machine like what she originally proposed, the only problem is that one-day is not today and Elizabeth Holmes will definitely not the one realizing that one-day.
The real lunacy was how many investors parted with their money swayed simply by her "name" and "connections" when the basic idea was just complete nonsense.
All she had to do say her company has an idea vision instead of telling people it’s already discovered. This idea still can be done. The machine just needs to send the info back to a data center to confirm the results before giving it back to the device owner
After watching this, this has reinforced my mindset that we should always question everything. Even if it is under the name of “science.” Truly disturbing stuff.
I am afraid to say so but sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. This woman not only looked clinically insane, the way she imitated true geniuses was also incredibly disconcerting. Those who got their socks charmed off should learn.
Jennifer Lawrence can smell her next role
Brian Rosado Do you know if it is confirmed or simply in discussion?

Good grief....no wonder.
That explains it 😂😅😆
Yes he worked at enron
I find it hilarious that they really allowed a person with absolutely no background in the medical field get away with this.
People wanted to make money
I think Dr fraud ci and bill gates have no medical background either
Kind of hard for me to fell sorry for them. She should go to prison but everyone else can just cry a river
Probably just wanted her to stop talking so they no longer had to listen to that voice.
She is so full of herself that it's mind boggling. She is seen looking over, and handling a vial of blood from a tray of vials. She has absolutely no idea what she's looking at. She knows Mandarin, and knows nothing else. She doesn't have an AA degree, much less a university. No knowledge. She knew it didn't work because it didn't work.
She could easily be a major antagonist in any horror / thriller movie now that she's banned from being a CEO. She just has to play the same character as she played when she was at Theranos
This woman is the pure definition of a psychopath in every single way, and this entire situation puts the real intentions of pharma into the limelight and public view.
She kinda sounds like those serial killers when they’re interviewed in documentaries
Unike Ms. Holmes, Steve Jobs had an actual product. ...well, not just one.
And unlike Ms. Holmes, Steve Jobs never was the inventor, only the promoter, the driver. The inventions, the products came from actual professionals with actual work experience.
@Sammy Smith : So true, so true.
Steve was wise enough to steal shit that actually worked.
Holmes isn't even a technical expert. Jobs although untrained academically was coached by some of the best and the company ensured he was well informed so that his ideas were actually feasible. This is down to his tenacity to learn and execute what can be achieved.
Holmes on the other hand had no real working model. Having a black box will not do at all. Instead of raising 200M, what she should have done is to raise much lesser and work with that and report failure when it needed to have been disclosed. Going to the public to raise funds requires a FULLY validated prototype at least, bare minimum by third party authorized testers and validators. What she had done was convince people and the public that she had that wonder machine.
Of course if it had worked she would have been a billionaire. But it did not so she cannot and should not go to the public to raise funds.
The important difference between an iPod or a buggy app and a medical device is if the formers don't work, you shrug and go on with your lives. Mistakes in the medical device space get you burried.
Large pharmaceutical companies have their shares of mistakes, no doubt; however, the ones thay survived have a diverse range of products to fall back on.
Steve's just as much an inventor, at least the "Cocenptualist".
What the heck are you doing hbo? Don't give this narcissist even more attention. It's what she feeds off of.
Joel Miller its disproving her. why would u want to bring attention to bad things uve done
Because shes cute
She was not the first one, neither will she be the last person to sell impossible dreams. The least we can do is remember her so we can guard ourselves against such sociopaths.
This is a expose, which is needed, to make people aware of such fraud but a commercial movie which I heard in making is unnecessary that will definitely give her pop-culture attention.
@@joelmiller2601 😂 righttt I need to be a CEO of a fake company
I hope this documentary covers the science of why it's physically impossible, but it probably won't go into that much depth.
it should.
The idea is good.. a small device that does lots of tests that take many big and expensive machines. Get these devices to pharmacies, and in people's homes.
The execution failed, because they couldn't even do 12% of the promised tests, and was built too small, so it had heating issues, and the different devices inside were interfering with each other in other ways (magnetic, electromagnetic, etc...)
Anyone who brough to light the problems, were fired and gag ordered with NDA or worse...
you can get more detail from the other videos on youtube covering this....
@@ConstitutionalRepublicStands They should have made it bigger and put a fan inside as they do with computers to prevent overheating and they make different devices to test different diseases.
It should be done for rare and common diseases. Devices for rare diseases should be given to hospitals while those for common ones are given to doctors and the public.
This is what the worship of the corporate state brings about.
I’ll wait for the Jennifer Lawrence/Adam McKay biopic that is supposed to come out this fall. But this will do.
Per McKay apparently they're not even gonna start shooting until this fall, so probably spring 2020 is a better bet. Hope the doc is good in the meantime lol
She's a narcissistic asshole. I understand that's a compelling character for a good actor like Lawrence to tackle, but Holmes doesn't deserve to be glamorized by being portrayed by someone as beautiful and inherently sympathetic as Jennifer Lawrence. No matter how dark Lawrence's portrayal may be, Holmes will inevitably take it as a compliment.
@@bobmclennan1727 And Cheney took his portrayal by arguably the best actor in Hollywood as a compliment?
It is! Got a chance to see it at Sundance!@@lightfighter263

@@mgorbaty that stuff is hard, but possible.
I notice the excessive use of the word "revolutionary" in every infomercials selling useless junks. Sadly, there is a large segment of society that falls for these types of marketing.
Fake it till you make it? She was faking that deep voice to seem powerful but to me, sounded like she was constipating 😂😂
It was different with Edison. He was trying to invent a long-lasting light bulb, not a way to test if you have cancer.
@@yanderefangirl8317 um, okay... But I wasn't talking about Edison though..
@Just Some Guy 😂😂😂😂😂🤣☺️🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
The phrase "stranger than fiction" comes to mind... such an insane story.
vax industry is same, load of claptrap for big bucks $$
when someone says they don't have any secrets, that means they have a lot of secrets.
Kok jadi kayak kisah Afi Nihaya Faradisa aja y? Wkwkkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkk
This documentary is brilliant. It makes real journalism as thrilling as any made-for-TV entertainment; and leaves you with a point of view. Now we need Alex Gibney to do the same for US health care, the pharmaceutical industry, banking, mortgage lending, Trump...ridicule wrapped inside devastating reporting using the absurd words and images of the subject.
It showed how powerful journalism can be when done right. It was brilliant!
Can’t believe she got so far, by staring intensely at people 👀
the thing I ask myself is how long they could have gone for if they had made it?
The level of balls it takes to keep a charade up to this level is what fascinates me. Like what goes through someone’s mind to get to that level of confidence. Reminds me of the guy that tried buying the Islanders in 1996
It is so sad how this woman could’ve been the next Silicon Valley genius, but instead she turned out to be a monstrous scammer. I hope we get to witness the rise of an authentic female Silicon Valley mastermind soon.
Bro she probably got her highschool "straight A" notes paid by her parents. For god's sake, if she was really smart she would never done this scandal for being recognized in science.
Idk. I think she really is pretty smart but also so narcissistic that she couldn’t accept when things went wrong
She has a deeper voice than that chocolate rain dude. If she wears a strap on, then I would have to squeal like a Japanese porn star.
Tay zonday the goat
This is the first time I heard her speak and it really caught me by surprise.
She's faking her voice. There are recorded moments when she slipped up a normal tone.
She is faking that as well.
I guess that's not really a surprise.
Don't even compare this psycho to Tay.😂😅
I worked for this company and they watched every move we made, even monitored our Facebook, they had a camera on the all the computers where they watched us and listened to us, they wanted to make sure we were not telling patients the truth and we were all instructed to lie to them as well, it was intimidating and creepy!
Bridget Riley Wow that sounds over the Top!!
That is insane. I would have just quit and then told everyone everything through like anonymous notes to various agencies or something lol. Even so, keeping something so big a secret by everyone seems kind of impossible. Didn't someone talk or say something to someone?
Glad you made it out
Couldn't you havd sent anonymous letters to clia, ascp, cms etc?
So how long you worked there?
Read the book by Careyrou; it was awesome!
"I don't have many secrets" Presses the lips against each other and blinks uncontrollably.
Cancer cells are not in our blood.
Cancer cells do not travel via the blood or lymph system.
Testing your blood over a period of a few months only shows a person's level of white blood cells which only indicates inflammation/infection, which could be normal, and could also be anything from arthritis to an ingrown hair, a sharp increase in readings, after a few months, would indicate something's going on, but it can't tell you where or what, it just leaves a person terrified.
I recommend everyone to watch the documentary..its very nicely done!!
her favorite song is the 1977 Bee Gees soundtrack "How Deep is your Voice"
Her idea would have been revolutionary had it worked, but she willingly put her devices in stores knowing full well they didn't. She's not going to be remembered as the icon she envisioned, but an icon for all the wrong reasons. This woman deserves to go to prison for a very long time, but I fear there will be political pressure to go easy on her. We'll see.
Ideas like this have been a dream for decades but this scumbag took it as her and sold it. Why didn't she get life in prison? Because she is a woman. Jeez
Interestingly enough, Tyler Schultz with only an undergrad degree started his own start-up…
1:55 she blinks a lot when the reporter asks for her to tell them a secret. She RARELY blinks. This is a sign she is lying when she said she doesn't have many secrets.
I clicked on this so fast because I thought it was a trailer for the next season of Silicon Valley XD
lmao
A lot of people miss the point that SV is actually a dark comedy of life in the Bay Area tech scene. The irony is I've come across a lot of high school & college kids who think the elements/characters of the sitcom are things to emulate, not avoid, & have a rose-tinted view of the tech scene.
I wonder if the name Pied Piper is an in-joke? After all, the pied piper in the legend lured young people to their doom with his songs that promised a better place.
Same
This was a great documentary. I always wanted to understand exactly what this woman had done and wow, I was completely shocked. Our health industry is a joke. This was absotutely terrifying giving this person that much power for rarely giving you any true medical data watsoever.
Probably the result another those women in power positions propaganda piece.
The reboot for Silicon Valley looks pretty good but were’s Mr.Jinyang and Gilfoil ?
Your spot on mate. Pied piper of lab fraud.
"Can you tell us a secret?" top notch journalism right there. straight from the 1st grade Gazette
It was while filming an ad campaign.
I can’t wait to see this documentary film. Can’t believe how good she was at telling lies. However, I do believe one day we will have a machine like what she originally proposed, the only problem is that one-day is not today and Elizabeth Holmes will definitely not the one realizing that one-day.
She has crazy eyes just like Mark Zuckerberg. I wouldn't want to be left alone with these "intelligent" people. And her voice is so deep!
fly away She has the same crazy eyes as AOC.
You all have got to watch this if you’re interested, it covers so much more than the analysis channels here on YT. Very good documentary!
The real lunacy was how many investors parted with their money swayed simply by her "name" and "connections" when the basic idea was just complete nonsense.
They drank the cool-aid, unfortunately.
She is the best example of "fake it until you make it"
I muted this and it still hurt my feelings.

Read the book "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou
"What do you dream for?"
Holmes "A bigger prison cell"
Such people never see prison cell.
I’m still curious: can it still actually be done eventually? And if not, how much could? How many years or decades are we from it becoming a reality?
This girl sounds like she's boosting on testosterone
That voice was an immediate red flag to me, the first time I heard her speak.
her voice is fake too??
@@MrRop-yp3wt yep
Yeah, it's hyper cringe
not "The Inventor" but "The Thief" would be more appropriate title for her Documentary.
Nayab Samar agree dude
Quite the voice you got there, Elizabeth. Oh, and those eyes.
reporter : can you tell a secret
elizabeth : my voice is not fake
I'm really not afraid of horror movies, but this chick scares me to death.
She can almost make someone believe in David Ike's reptilians. lol. My guess is growing up no one ever told the little spoiled girl no.
SHE'S GOT CRAZY LADY HAIR. how did no-one see that?
TIM APPLE 🍎 could be the next Elizabeth Holmes
Bad Blood was a great read, super excited to watch this!
1:34 her immediate response to that question says it all doesn't it?
Not LESS people, FEWER people. So much for a (semi) Stanford education!
she dropped out of Stanford.
lol
All she had to do say her company has an idea vision instead of telling people it’s already discovered.
This idea still can be done. The machine just needs to send the info back to a data center to confirm the results before giving it back to the device owner
Seems like these billionaire investors learned nothing from the Bernie Madoff debacle and the importance of doing due diligence.
One of the best documentaries ive seen on an electrifying scam!
It lies about Edison. Lewis Latimer, a black man, invented the filament for the light bulb.
She sounds like Proctor from Police Academy. 'Yeah, thanks a lot Bob.'
I read the book "Bad Blood" that narrates the whole story of Elizabeth and her venture.
After watching this, this has reinforced my mindset that we should always question everything. Even if it is under the name of “science.” Truly disturbing stuff.
This is going to be good! I feel for those people she bullied and stepped on! I'm glad they were vindicated.
My turn... This chick is the Fyre Festival of Silicon Valley
"The Apple of healthcare" MAN IM DYING THERE ISN'T ANY REVOLUTIONARY IDEA ON THIS
I am afraid to say so but sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. This woman not only looked clinically insane, the way she imitated true geniuses was also incredibly disconcerting. Those who got their socks charmed off should learn.
You can say that again. She hardly blink her eyes like people do. All the sign of something wrong with her.
