Some thoughts after reading โ€œBad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup.โ€

I never wrote about Theranos or Elizabeth Holmes here or on my other blog even when they were in their heyday because it seemed a little fishy to me. No, I had no idea that the company was a fraud. As with Jonah Lehrer, everything about it set off my โ€œsomething is not quite rightโ€ detector without me having any direct evidence or thought on it fully formed. Its fraudulence, in other words, wasnโ€™t known to me; just felt hinky, is all.

Glad that my bullshit detector is still functioning fairly well. I need that thing in working order for stuff I can actually trade on.
