RE: Did you know Theranos started by 19yr. old Based in a Rented Basement Near Stanford Campus? Raised millions in first few years and moved to former HQ of Facebook in 2012? Former CDC director on it's board also Henry Kissinger and Jim Mattis? WHOA!?
Outside the film, Theranos got plenty of coverage from local media. As early as 2015, The Arizona Republic was writing stories about the company not always meeting lab regulations. That story prompted a published retort from Holmes in the form of a letter to the editor, defending Theranos' transparency and performance.
Prosecutors would disagree. And an editor's note said the newspaper stood by its story.
What unfolds in “The Inventor” is a great story — great in the media sense that it’s interesting, complex, filled with compelling people promising the moon and failing to deliver. Not so great if you were one of the people placing your faith in Theranos for accurate blood work — or if you worked for the company.
