SuperAaron 99 I don’t believe claiming that you are an engineer is illegal in the US since I don’t think it is a reserved title. In Canada, this is illegal and known as usurpation of title since engineer is a reserved title like claiming you are a medical doctor or a lawyer
And no one called her out on it at the time. Had she held some sort of certification she could get away with that label. Hell, she could have taken a NICET exam to at least back that up, even if it had nothing to do with medicine.
She identifies as an engineer. Like a man can identify as a woman and vice versa stemming from a belief in gender fluidity......Elizabeth Holmes believes in qualifications fluidity.
@@BaliMystic No, with the exception of software, calling yourself an "engineer," with no previous work experience, and no bachelor's degree is a fraud. The difference is the fact that they could be sued as part of a civil action, but not a criminal infraction. Software is different as there are old hands like me who have been plying that trade for decades without a specific degree. Plus, software is so loosey-goosey with titles that calling yourself a "software engineer," holds about as much weight as claiming you're the CEO of a company that employs one person: you.
@@BaliMystic i dont think its illegal in the US but there is still a difference between a real engineer and someone who knows alot about engineering. I dont know about other americans but i certainly would not consider someone to be an engineer unless they had a degree in some sort of engineering field, which she does not.
the worst part is seeing a women who try to be like a man even in gestures(yeeewwww). fake women. women doesnt have to be like a man to be successful( real world example is gwynn shotwell of spacex)
@@CepheiVV not at all, Elizabeth's public speaking skills are underwhelming. I also struggle to reconcile the supposed irresistible charisma with the reality of this video. Very average indeed. She surely must have many qualities to have made it so far but charisma is not one of them. Ability to be factual either. Brings home how easily impressionable people are. Former politicians, company CEO's and high ranking military officials all fell for it and invested heavily... The scammers have a bright future ahead...
To me too, but I can't know how I would have reacted to her at the time. I only heard of her after the whole thing went down so my perception definitely changed due to that.
Axl.W. Rose yeeeaaahhhh, but you kind of have to be well educated or at least well read to make that work... Hahahaha I don’t know who would listen to this and trust her.
Listen - she had a lot on her plate She had to figure out not only how to make all of Theranos’ claims true, she also had to remember to speak in a low voice All day long It’s not easy being that crazy
Interviewer: "Elizabeth, do you enjoy chewing gum?" Elizabeth: "Gum a is a soft, cohesive substance designed in order to be chewed without being swallowed. Modern chewing gum is composed of gum base, sweeteners, softeners/plasticizers, flavors, colors, and, typically, a hard or powdered polyol coating. Its texture is reminiscent of rubber because of the physical-chemical properties of its polymer, plasticizer, and resin components, which contribute to its elastic-plastic, sticky, chewy characteristics."
Doctors were literally saying that her claims were scientifically impossible because you couldn’t run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood, yet companies were promoting her and publications were putting her on their covers. It’s pretty indicative of our anti-science issue, as well as believing what you want to hear over the facts.
She is as fake as it can get from the voice and the looks but hey she is from a good American family so let’s help her! So it was the USA choosing to believe the lie because they loved that lie!
It’s impossible anyway because human beings are insanely different and vary significantly anyway, this is why you work with a doctor for sometimes years to find out what a certain complication is. You can’t test anyone reliably on a one size fits all test like this.
And the problem was not just tge quantity of blood vut the machine in itself....even with three vials of blood, iftge machine worjed, it would have been great. But it was all a fail 😱
@@michelleririn5075 lol that's very "western people" you mean the civilization that invented the scientific method and made about evry single major scientific breakthroughs of the last 3 centuries
Teacher: "Elizabeth, what's the sum of 2 + 2?" Elizabeth : "What we are trying to do is reach a conclusion that can be put out into the public domain that gives the individual the right to chose the correct answer. I think that our proposed agenda incorporates a multitude of complex features that will create a positive experience for each user, that will undoubtedly leave them with the confidence that they will be able to make an informed choice."

I am proud that he still can remember his original question after all that long distracting meaningless answer. That is hardest thing to do when you talk to paychopath liers
I noticed that with several interviews. She gives convoluted explanations and never answers pointed questions, but they never hold her feet to the fire. They always let her get away w it..
I noticed she had a hard time maintaining the baritone voice during this interview. I heard her natural voice more in this interview than I had in others I've watched.
At 1:16 she says, “I’m an engineer” NO she is NOT. All she has is a high school diploma. It is difficult to become a real engineer. We go to college and do not drop out and then we work with integrity to make our profession a respectable one and earn our wages with truthfulness while solving problems to try and make the world a better place.
She worked for 10 years with some of the most brilliant engineers in the country. I think she earned the title of engineer. Despite what you may think of her, she is incredibly intelligent and extremely hard working.
I came to a conclusion that only crooks get the funding and Investors to get far ahead. If you're a smart Crook, you get away. If you mess up as a Crook, I guess you go to prison. Moral of my comment is to be a Crook and you'll get far!
@@phyllisfoster6589 there is something very, verrrrry off about her. No normal person could be so evil and have no empathy for the ones they hurt. It’s just so creepy…it’s demonic!
Kevi Knet It’s her way of positioning herself as a victim. So focused on technical matters that she failed to recognize that evil incumbents were intent on undermining her.
You don't need to finish college to be an engineer. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg ALL dropped out of college. That is not the problem. College was not going to teach those young men ANYTHING that they needed to learn to make billions of dollars. The difference is, Bill, Steve, and Mark all knew a thing or two about technology, people, reality, and accountability. Bill, Steve, and Mark all knew that they were accountable for the product they created in their dreams. Elizabeth's entire purpose was about AVOIDING ALL accountability. Say nothing. Play dumb. Obfuscate. She did that because the technology that she dreamed about, she didn't have the first idea how to create it and she refused to listen to anyone who she tasked to create it. Hers was the position based on pure feminism.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt: let me guess, you work in Academia or higher education, right? LOL! Tell me Frank, what VALUE could Harvard University offer Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates that they needed to stay enrolled in order to learn? What could the #1 university in the entire world have taught either of those men that would have mattered one bit? Nothing. Same is true for Steve Jobs at Stanford, nothing. Academia is good at repeating to students what other people have already learned and mastered. That's it. And if you are a smart person (but not SUPER smart) then academia is the place to be and work. And why? Because you are smart enough to understand (master even) all the things that everyone ELSE mastered that came before you. But that does little good at creating real wealth in the information age. Elizabeth Holmes was writing C-complier operating systems for Chinese students at the age of 8. She was way beyond anything that Stanford was ever going to teach her. Dropping out of college was not the problem (never way.) Being a feminist and being unaccountable for her ideas, THAT was the problem. THAT is what brought her to ruin. Feminism said she didn't have to listen to a man tell her that no, this is not going to work and here is why. She refused to listen to other people doing the work, she just fired them and threatened them with lawyers. That is the feminist way. That is NOT what Mark, Bill, or Steve would have done to any of their engineers who told them that they couldn't build something. Instead, they would have changed direction and taken a different path.
Paul Colburn Let me add, that at major research universities, professors are expected to create new knowledge through their research. The concept of creating knowledge by imaginatively applying knowledge rubs off on students. I was fortunate, academically, to have exposure to several Nobel prize winners. Seeing how they think is possibly more important to students than understanding the nuances of their research. So, I’d say that exposure to great minds is it’s own reward. By dropping out she discarded that opportunity.
It is stunning to me that this charade went as far as it did. It goes beyond the deception of Holmes and Bulwani. It’s a case study in manipulation, greed, pride, and self-delusion in a lot of people.
Very true. It's simple to analyze the psychopathy of Holmes, but it's much more interesting to look at everyone involved and how they deluded themselves, and also the small amount of good people that arose from the situation. Humans are strange creatures.
Exactly. All she had was an idea. The idea didnt work so she lied and made up fake cosigns by big companies. The only way she lasted so long is because of her blonde hair, blue eyes, and white skin, and... Being a woman. She's a liar with no experience. Just a regular person.
@@richbillionair exactly, but if you’re really successful, why lie? She could have said « even though I’m not an engineer, I achieved this and that,… »
@@richbillionair bill gates didn’t claim to be a doctor, an architect, an engineer, a nurse, a lawyer etc… those are regulated professions. If you don’t see the difference there’s no hope for you.
Well it's called greed. Basically there is nothing going on revolutionary right now and the Real Estate market is in the shit can, so what hope is there to make an extraordinary return on investment. All these investors were super wealthy people, so it's basically a tax write off. It's kind of like feeling sorry for Tom Brady for not winning a 7th Super Bowl.
Well, it’s always easy to spot the liar after the fact, but at that moment, she was being propped as the female Steve Jobs, people let their imaginations ran wild
and of course we have the Fortune journalist here here, trying to salvage what little credibility they have left. Pathetic Looks like a salted gold mine. I'm reminded of Bre-X
If you amassed hundreds of millions from investors, you have to have a number of employees that make your company look legitimate, or people will get really suspicious of you. Most of those employees had no idea about the "secret technology". Only a handful knew the "secret" scam.
Only certain people had the positions and access to truly see what was actually happening. People tried to speak up and speak out, but Theranos bullied anyone who tried through litigation and threats. If you see the interviews of the guy who ended up being the whistleblower, he said that he could only do it because his family had the ability to afford the legal fees it took to defend against their corporate lawyers. He said he was forced to spend HALF A MILLION dollars in about 6 months. There were apparently several employees who had problems with what they saw and left, but going up against a billion dollar company that can basically ruin your life is just not something most of these people could afford to risk.
@@ericwilliams8420 , I think if journalists conduct more depositions instead of sycophantic fluff interviews with questions like "what inspire you?" "do you date?" "what keeps you going" , perhaps people like Holmes here wouldn't get away with their psychotic behavior as along as they did.
Ya, she kept trying to say she’s mainly a scientist and engineer. But when the investigations started she completely flipped on that, and said she was just the CEO that was selling the dream, and didn’t know what the lab people were doing
She said here she is an engineer.....he should have stopped her right there and reminded her she dropped out if school within first one or two semesters.
+Harrison Brown Did Steve Jobs or Bill Gates claim to be engineers? Maybe Ms. Holmes "will make a bigger impact on humanity's use of technology and science" than all of us TH-cam commenters, maybe not. Until there's a body of evidence, skepticism is warranted.
Actually Bill Gates was very much a programmer. He did a lot of coding and was the lead code reviewer until other aspects of running Microsoft took up too much of his time. Jobs was not a tech person by any means. But he hired and partnered with engineers. And whether you like or dislike Apple products (then or now), they weren't built or designed to save lives, as Theranos claims to do.
+Harrison Brown I interpreted Eric Dew's initial comment to mean Elizabeth Holmes is not a licensed engineer, though she claims to be an engineer in the video. When you countered by pointing out that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates weren't formally trained engineers, and that this suggests the term "engineer" is too narrowly defined, I thought it was germane to point out that Jobs and Gates made their contributions without claiming (to my knowledge) to be engineers, in contrast to Ms. Holmes. The key point of Eric Dew's opener wasn't whether Ms. Holmes has talent sufficient to be considered an engineer in-all-but-the-formal sense, but whether one may accurately refer to oneself as an engineer, if indeed one is not licensed as such. I agree with your point that formal training and licensing isn't the sole measure of talent in engineering, nor many other fields. But, do you see how proclaiming a designation (like "engineer") that is generally understood to imply formal training and licensing, is worthy of a call to account in this context? Would you similarly defend a skilled EMT, who has saved many lives, referring to herself in interviews as a medical doctor, despite no medical degree, and no license? Given the current controversy that surrounds Theranos includes possible deception, I can understand why Eric Dew contradicted Elizabeth Holmes's loose self-proclaiming the "engineer" descriptor. However, I cannot fathom where Mr. Dew was headed with his follow-up comment.
According to the definition of engineer, anyone who comply with that definition is an engineer. So she is right, if she is "a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works."..But is she got an engineering degree?. Thats another case.
While this whole story is semi entertaining, scandalous, and definitely grabs people’s attention because it’s so wild... don’t forget that there were actual patients that got screwed over by Theranos. I don’t know how she can live with herself claiming that she’s “helping people and empowering people to have access to healthcare”. It’s absolutely horrible what she did.
She probably sleeps like a baby at night. Always has, always will. Her mental makeup is categorically different from a typical person, it's kinda obvious.
Absolute nonsense actually! Doctors go to school sometimes for almost a decade (like if they do subspecialties and fellowships) to learn to diagnose diseases, but she wanted to prove that worthless
@@77-ty7gbNo she is just a liar. As a scientist myself, I say that but you don’t need to be a scientist to tell that a lot of claims that she makes is fishy or unrealistic.
At about 3:48-3:52, a hint of her real voice slips when she says "a tiny sample using proprietary Theranos technology..." Probably because she was having to focus really hard on her spin.
JEFFREY ROEDEL exactly. When she is not confident or thinking ( read lying) subconsciously she goes back to normal voice in her original voice. As soon as she understood this reporter bought her theory, she felt relieved and went back to fake voice.
Mike Phalin The opposite (Mariah Carey) is proof positive. In Mariah’s case, she frequented the Whistle Register. While she could achieve those notes, doing so repeatedly over time caused immeasurable wear that manifests in the form of nodules. Holmes will do the same, and as long as she tries to keep up this act, she too will experience vocal nodules. That’s my guess. I imagine when she gets out of the pokie we will all find out if she is still using that baritone and her voice cracks each time she tries to reach those notes.
I mean it was at a point in Silicon Valley where multi-millionaires and billionaires were throwing cash at any idea that had weight. I'm sure the investors that lost money on this made 50 fold on other tech startups founded in the valley and had no real emotional connection to Theranos.

ella bee New addictive hobby - watching Elizabeth Holmes lie non-stop in interviews played in a loop. She is one hell of an amazing pathological liar!!!
@yellow spoon What she was offering was revolutionary. Investors blindly gave her money, except medical company investors; they passed because they knew it was too good to be true; smart.
I know! lol I keep watching her as well even though I know she is an evil POS! Her sociopathic ease with lying is very interesting. To lie like this is extremely insane. It is like she truly believes she will never get caught!
It's extremely simple. Her claims are not only false, but blatantly so, fraudulent so. Her strength is not in development or research, but the ability to pathologically lie and cover-up fraud.
It's quite entertaining and a little frightening to look at comments about her from several years ago. Everyone seems to have bought in. They thought she was beautiful, charismatic, "hot", and a genius to boot. They wanted to work for her. The SAME VIDEOS are provoking an opposite reaction now, anger and revulsion. There's something going on here we need to pay attention to. It isn't just building up and tearing down, as we do to our idols. She has an energy that is something akin to evil.
This. Even after the scandal has been made public, people still think she was had amazing charisma to be able to convince all those investors, partners and employees into Theranos. No... She just lied. Of course people are going to invest if you present them a game-changing technology, with actual data (that was faked).
Her voice doesn't sound like it is naturally that deep. She reminds me of insecure young men who deliberately lower their voices. No matter. She has done a lot for women's equality in the last year. Women too can be lying con artists in big business.
cinesimonj She gave her brother a nut monopoly in Eastern Europe as opposed to leaving the profits to the regions people. I can go on and on with examples how HRC has conned people.
She deserves an Oscar for her acting. Look how many she fooled with her b.s. This guy just lets her roll over him. Astounding nobody seemed to see through it at the time.
nosuchthing8 In another venue, when asked (by Katie Couric) about what the innovation was, she said that small samples enabled the testing of small samples.
nosuchthing8 hey listen, you have the rights to inaccurate test results. It’s called democratising healthcare. What she was doing was revolutionary. In the past if you want to order your own blood work and get crappy results that could kill you, you had to fly into a Mexico and cross your fingers. Now, you could have the same life threatening, shitty results for a faction of the cost and effort. #nanotainers
Interviewer: How are you? Elizabeth: Thank you for this question and sometimes as a leader I think about the job we are doing at Thernos to establish that our devices are FDA efficient from a comprehensive framework viewpoint. We made this possible through redefining & replacing it with cutting edge, proven and complete proprietary solutions. Let's talk about why this is so important and how our story is such a compelling organization that patients, investors and leading medical professionals standby. Together, we are revolutionary in our approach, committed to appropriately levels of confidence in our product, data and strategy. I'm proud to standby and help lead an organization focused on low care, availability and actionable insights that align to our mission. We are leading the charge by being proactive and transparent that starts from our board down to the strategic minds that help us transform the space.
Nice job, it's amazing how in PR dialect you can use 300, 500 words and say absolutely nothing, yet this template is so generic that it's applicable to any industry of your liking.
I always thought I was stupid for not understanding what these CEOs and politicians were getting at and then I realized it's by design. Most are meant to confuse you so you can just trust them in their confidence.
Fun fact. Elizabeths proprietary technology was actually just an easy bake oven. It was named “Edison” as an homage to the light bulb based cooking system.
Lars Lover sad sight 🤦♀️ it’s a crime she was called a self-made female billionaire, when there are so many extraordinary females out there making real magic happen.
The frustrating part in this video is not Elizabeth, it's Fortune magazine. They are still giving her a platform to spread her lies despite everything that came out by then.
This was how they pulled off the scam, they only spoke to media and investors that had no medical/scientific background, so she could spew her gibberish unchecked. Only at the very end when the company was completely collapsing did she agree to finally sit down and talk to real scientists, and they just laughed at her. After that, no one ever listened to her BS again
Just reading "Bad blood" - it's incredible, superb writing. Is it just me or did she start this interview with a deeper voice and gets higher when sidetracked by tough talk?
I agree.....she can't keep it up. That man knew she was lying...As much as she tried to confuse and get him to forget his questions with her BS & senseless rants, that man went right back to the original question. She met her match. I mean, look how embarrassed she looked each time he asked a question that has the potential to expose her. Inside, she's praying for the interview to end. Horrible....
i cant get enough of this modern day "catch me if you can" i cant help but be impressed that she was able to create an entire billion dollar company by scamming billionaires. its hilarious
Every time she is asked a question she has a magical way to start answering with a proposed sophisticated vocabulary of taking about absolute NOTHING! Im sure she has developed it by experience
As an introvert, I envy those who could speak so much about basically nothing. I have a hard life as my speaking skills comprises of a very few words. Most people find me boring, so proportionally I have a few friends, who unfortunately happens to take advantage of my naivety. I wouldn't mind copying these ways of real life supervillains

This is why peer review is important. The peer-review process subjects an author's scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field (peers) and is considered necessary to ensure academic scientific quality.
Agreed, but if you claim to have a new, patentable technology, you can always use that as an excuse to skip peer review, since peer review could basically enable the reviewers to get all details of your technology by the time the review is done.
What are you on about mate? Even peer reviewed sources can be biased. You are making the same mistake as the investors who poured 9 billion dollars on Theranos just because Theranos was backed up by some guy called Henry Kissinger.
@@yellowstone4087 She literally went to school 2 semesters. I don't know about you but as an engineering student...most of those first semesters are spent on general education and MATH AND MORE MATH. Not on what your major is...how can she even say, "I am an engineer" with a straight face. Its such an insult to everyone that sacrifices having a life during college as STEM majors.
She never answers a question either "yes" or "no" then with elaboration, she simply puts a bunch of words together. i've seen this ploy many times in my career but not, literally, every single question answered this way.
you do know that there is no product and that all this hype is smoke and mirrors. she has a gazillion lawsuits her way plus a banning from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to own and operate a lab for 2 years
In science and technology training is critical. If she would have completed her chemical engineering (or biomedical) degree at Stanford she would have learned the difference between smokes and mirrors and a product that works. She is a gifted pitch woman to raise investor money and that's about it. I am a degreed engineer and I understand that any of my designs need to be submitted for peer review prior to launching it. For the kind of improvement she seeks to improve a masters degree in biomedical engineering would have to be earned at minimum, if not a doctoral degree. Now look at this mess she is in
I came to a conclusion that only crooks get the funding and Investors to get far ahead. If you're a smart Crook, you get away. If you mess up as a Crook, I guess you go to prison. Moral of my comment is to be a Crook and you'll get far!
As someone who has owned and operated a blood testing lab, I can tell you how strict the requirements are for quality control. Theranos never should have gotten away with preventing fed inspectors from their oversight. Lab testing is first and foremost about patient safety. Her comments about giving patients “access to their own health information” shows how clueless she really is. Patients don’t need “access” to lab results that are inaccurate!!
Yes the other thing that bothers me about false lab results is, at the very least, have to be repeated and verified at the patient’s expense but some of those patients had ER visits and scans, etc. I know she cheated her investors but patients who had to have further testing lost $$$ too
TheVertigoalley When CMS first shut down her lab in Newark, CA, her lab director was a part-time dermatologist who had no oversight of QC. Afterward, she acted surprised, and said that she thought they were doing things the right way.
@@TheVertigoalley She opened the lab as a backup plan because her devices wouldn't get FDA approval. That's why her lab was not a quality lab to begin with but to be used as a way to bypass FDA oversight. It was a clever business trick that bought her more time to try to develope their Edison devices.
She was the ONLY face of her company, in commercials, interviews, articles, front cover coverage, etc. And in one commercial, her face was in the entire advertisement talking and staring at you. Her lies are out of control.
Look at how at ease she is with telling bold faced lies. This is why I believe she (and anyone who was complicit in this venture) should be punished to the laws maximums. The only thing that will keep them unpunished is their wealth, and the ability to pay lawyers that won't challenge any wrongdoings, but the semantics of the accusations.
All the scientists working in her company that never blew the whistle, all the high profile people she fooled including former US Presidents and Secretaries of State… The billionaires who invested in her company… It took 12 years from the companies founding before the cover was blown by an investigative journalist, not the scientists working for the company. 12 years… For an **obvious** fraud. And people think scientists are somehow as incorruptible and as holy as the dalai lama.
In order to soften her sentence, after she was arraigned, she went out and got a rich boyfriend, 2 dogs and had 2 babies !!! Talk about diabolical !!! Who does that ? She’s not gonna see her kids for 10 years !!!
Her going in and out of the voice is funny while watching this lolol it’s like a game 😂

The FACT that Fortune put her on the cover just shows how much appearance, $peculation, and wishful thinking can twist people's vulnerability....supposedly smart people duped by a blond with crazy eyes, a dark voice, and ZERO specifics.
Yes, and even more than duped, it was incredibly irresponsible of Fortune to not include opinions of top scientists in the field. There are teams who have been working for twenty years + to try blood testing for more than one result at a time. She was turned away from some health and science investors in Silicon Valley because she could not answer questions and got in a huff about it and left.
It's interesting how everyone is creeped out by her but also fascinated... I really think if she were a man & did the same thing with politics, she would have been president of U.S. or Russia or Germany back in the day ... if she were a man & went into politics people would follow her like a crazy cult like they usually do & she would have never been charged with anything
It’s really nuts that she had almost no technical or scientific knowledge of how to accomplish what it was she shot for. She just thought she could put smart people in a room and tell them what she wanted. She couldn’t even begin to explain the science behind her theory.
she doesn't really seem to have a conscience. she doesn't seem right in the head. she seems about some kind of self-gradiosity. but she might have been successful just in getting money because her vision was something people wanted to be very badly who wouldn't want one little finger prick & get 200 tests with no long blood draws & everything else she promised. it's hard to tell if she was just B.S. the whole time or if she actually wasn't different than the people she fooled she wanted it to be true so much she just kept crossing the line lying about it. but maybe she actually believed it & was like some kind of fanatic. but yeah it's like the dream is based in reality only in that there is a need for it & people want it, but other than that, she's got nothing real to make it happen but thinks just talking about it & collecting money can make it real ... but there's so much of her own self-grandiosity wrapped up in it like she wants to be Steve Jobs
okay maybe I can boil it down better ... I think she is so self-grandiose that if it wasn't this "finger prick" thing she would've made something else up just so she could pretend she's Steve Jobs - the whole thing is really more about she just wanted to be Steve Jobs despite some part of her she probably knew herself but tried not to face up to, she really didn't have enough brains or skills to actually be a real innovator & the only thing she is good at is scamming
Steve jobs did literally the exact same thing. I’m all for shitting on this chick but let’s not ignore jobs and many of the other ceos of tech companies that operate this exact same way.
When she is really nervous about answering a question and really squirming she forms an invisible shape in her hands and moves it back and forth so that the interviewer will focus on what's "in her hands" and not what she is saying.....EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
“Transition to the FDA framework…” Isn’t that the process they should have been following all along? What use is a medical product without FDA approval?
It's insane how people let her get away with these long, rambling and ultimately meaningless answers when you get an F in school for doing just that in reports or exams - rightfully so. Basically the bare minimum of what you have to offer seems to be a higher stake in 8th grade than in Silicon Valley.
The fact that she didn’t have anyone with healthcare or a science background pretty much sums up her thought process. She didn’t want real experts calling her con out. Instead she chose folks in other areas who were powerful people meant to draw more people into her con for sake of publicity and getting more investors.
Yeah let's put former Secretary of State, George Shultz, on the board. He has no science background and he looks remarkably like the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz.
I don’t know what the end game was for her, she knew the technology did not work at all. She knew she couldn’t just keep lying forever. Even in this interview she knew that all her lies would be exposed. There was never any way for her to get out of this.

“I’m an engineer”
SuperAaron 99 I don’t believe claiming that you are an engineer is illegal in the US since I don’t think it is a reserved title. In Canada, this is illegal and known as usurpation of title since engineer is a reserved title like claiming you are a medical doctor or a lawyer
And no one called her out on it at the time. Had she held some sort of certification she could get away with that label. Hell, she could have taken a NICET exam to at least back that up, even if it had nothing to do with medicine.
She identifies as an engineer. Like a man can identify as a woman and vice versa stemming from a belief in gender fluidity......Elizabeth Holmes believes in qualifications fluidity.
@@BaliMystic No, with the exception of software, calling yourself an "engineer," with no previous work experience, and no bachelor's degree is a fraud. The difference is the fact that they could be sued as part of a civil action, but not a criminal infraction.
Software is different as there are old hands like me who have been plying that trade for decades without a specific degree. Plus, software is so loosey-goosey with titles that calling yourself a "software engineer," holds about as much weight as claiming you're the CEO of a company that employs one person: you.
@@BaliMystic i dont think its illegal in the US but there is still a difference between a real engineer and someone who knows alot about engineering. I dont know about other americans but i certainly would not consider someone to be an engineer unless they had a degree in some sort of engineering field, which she does not.

Interviewer: "Elizabeth, do you enjoy chewing gum?"
Elizabeth: "Gum a is a soft, cohesive substance designed in order to be chewed without being swallowed. Modern chewing gum is composed of gum base, sweeteners, softeners/plasticizers, flavors, colors, and, typically, a hard or powdered polyol coating. Its texture is reminiscent of rubber because of the physical-chemical properties of its polymer, plasticizer, and resin components, which contribute to its elastic-plastic, sticky, chewy characteristics."

It’s her way of positioning herself as a victim. So focused on technical matters that she failed to recognize that evil incumbents were intent on undermining her.
You don't need to finish college to be an engineer. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg ALL dropped out of college. That is not the problem. College was not going to teach those young men ANYTHING that they needed to learn to make billions of dollars. The difference is, Bill, Steve, and Mark all knew a thing or two about technology, people, reality, and accountability. Bill, Steve, and Mark all knew that they were accountable for the product they created in their dreams. Elizabeth's entire purpose was about AVOIDING ALL accountability. Say nothing. Play dumb. Obfuscate. She did that because the technology that she dreamed about, she didn't have the first idea how to create it and she refused to listen to anyone who she tasked to create it. Hers was the position based on pure feminism.
Paul Colburn
Ha ha. Armchair college guidance counselor....
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt: let me guess, you work in Academia or higher education, right? LOL! Tell me Frank, what VALUE could Harvard University offer Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates that they needed to stay enrolled in order to learn? What could the #1 university in the entire world have taught either of those men that would have mattered one bit? Nothing. Same is true for Steve Jobs at Stanford, nothing.
Academia is good at repeating to students what other people have already learned and mastered. That's it. And if you are a smart person (but not SUPER smart) then academia is the place to be and work. And why? Because you are smart enough to understand (master even) all the things that everyone ELSE mastered that came before you. But that does little good at creating real wealth in the information age.
Elizabeth Holmes was writing C-complier operating systems for Chinese students at the age of 8. She was way beyond anything that Stanford was ever going to teach her. Dropping out of college was not the problem (never way.) Being a feminist and being unaccountable for her ideas, THAT was the problem. THAT is what brought her to ruin. Feminism said she didn't have to listen to a man tell her that no, this is not going to work and here is why. She refused to listen to other people doing the work, she just fired them and threatened them with lawyers. That is the feminist way. That is NOT what Mark, Bill, or Steve would have done to any of their engineers who told them that they couldn't build something. Instead, they would have changed direction and taken a different path.
Paul Colburn
Let me add, that at major research universities, professors are expected to create new knowledge through their research. The concept of creating knowledge by imaginatively applying knowledge rubs off on students. I was fortunate, academically, to have exposure to several Nobel prize winners. Seeing how they think is possibly more important to students than understanding the nuances of their research. So, I’d say that exposure to great minds is it’s own reward. By dropping out she discarded that opportunity.
It is stunning to me that this charade went as far as it did. It goes beyond the deception of Holmes and Bulwani. It’s a case study in manipulation, greed, pride, and self-delusion in a lot of people.
Very true. It's simple to analyze the psychopathy of Holmes, but it's much more interesting to look at everyone involved and how they deluded themselves, and also the small amount of good people that arose from the situation. Humans are strange creatures.

What's mindblowing is that her company had 700 employees at one point? WTF were they all doing when she was masterminding this huge scam?!
Solitaire?
They had to pay each expert a salary or hourly wage. And I’m guessing it wasn’t minimum wage. What a freakin waste of money..
They were running lab test the on the current tech and fudging numbers for Thernos tech
If you amassed hundreds of millions from investors, you have to have a number of employees that make your company look legitimate, or people will get really suspicious of you. Most of those employees had no idea about the "secret technology". Only a handful knew the "secret" scam.
Only certain people had the positions and access to truly see what was actually happening. People tried to speak up and speak out, but Theranos bullied anyone who tried through litigation and threats. If you see the interviews of the guy who ended up being the whistleblower, he said that he could only do it because his family had the ability to afford the legal fees it took to defend against their corporate lawyers. He said he was forced to spend HALF A MILLION dollars in about 6 months. There were apparently several employees who had problems with what they saw and left, but going up against a billion dollar company that can basically ruin your life is just not something most of these people could afford to risk.
I so want the interviewer to say to Holmes: "You didn't answer my question!!"

+Harrison Brown Did Steve Jobs or Bill Gates claim to be engineers? Maybe Ms. Holmes "will make a bigger impact on humanity's use of technology and science" than all of us TH-cam commenters, maybe not. Until there's a body of evidence, skepticism is warranted.
Actually Bill Gates was very much a programmer. He did a lot of coding and was the lead code reviewer until other aspects of running Microsoft took up too much of his time.
Jobs was not a tech person by any means. But he hired and partnered with engineers. And whether you like or dislike Apple products (then or now), they weren't built or designed to save lives, as Theranos claims to do.
+Harrison Brown I interpreted Eric Dew's initial comment to mean Elizabeth Holmes is not a licensed engineer, though she claims to be an engineer in the video. When you countered by pointing out that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates weren't formally trained engineers, and that this suggests the term "engineer" is too narrowly defined, I thought it was germane to point out that Jobs and Gates made their contributions without claiming (to my knowledge) to be engineers, in contrast to Ms. Holmes. The key point of Eric Dew's opener wasn't whether Ms. Holmes has talent sufficient to be considered an engineer in-all-but-the-formal sense, but whether one may accurately refer to oneself as an engineer, if indeed one is not licensed as such.
I agree with your point that formal training and licensing isn't the sole measure of talent in engineering, nor many other fields. But, do you see how proclaiming a designation (like "engineer") that is generally understood to imply formal training and licensing, is worthy of a call to account in this context? Would you similarly defend a skilled EMT, who has saved many lives, referring to herself in interviews as a medical doctor, despite no medical degree, and no license? Given the current controversy that surrounds Theranos includes possible deception, I can understand why Eric Dew contradicted Elizabeth Holmes's loose self-proclaiming the "engineer" descriptor. However, I cannot fathom where Mr. Dew was headed with his follow-up comment.
+Harrison Brown My skepticism is toward your wager on Ms. Holmes's big impact on humanity, not the merits of Theranos technology, per se.
According to the definition of engineer, anyone who comply with that definition is an engineer. So she is right, if she is "a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works."..But is she got an engineering degree?. Thats another case.

Mike Phalin The opposite (Mariah Carey) is proof positive. In Mariah’s case, she frequented the Whistle Register. While she could achieve those notes, doing so repeatedly over time caused immeasurable wear that manifests in the form of nodules. Holmes will do the same, and as long as she tries to keep up this act, she too will experience vocal nodules. That’s my guess. I imagine when she gets out of the pokie we will all find out if she is still using that baritone and her voice cracks each time she tries to reach those notes.

Notice how she keeps reverting back to the talking point about rights and access to data. Ok, but does your device work?
nosuchthing8 this is fascinating. She has no idea what she’s talking about, and lying and dodging every question.
nosuchthing8
In another venue, when asked (by Katie Couric) about what the innovation was, she said that small samples enabled the testing of small samples.
nosuchthing8 hey listen, you have the rights to inaccurate test results. It’s called democratising healthcare. What she was doing was revolutionary. In the past if you want to order your own blood work and get crappy results that could kill you, you had to fly into a Mexico and cross your fingers. Now, you could have the same life threatening, shitty results for a faction of the cost and effort. #nanotainers
"No, it doesn't, but that's a minor point".
Interviewer: How are you?
Elizabeth: Thank you for this question and sometimes as a leader I think about the job we are doing at Thernos to establish that our devices are FDA efficient from a comprehensive framework viewpoint. We made this possible through redefining & replacing it with cutting edge, proven and complete proprietary solutions. Let's talk about why this is so important and how our story is such a compelling organization that patients, investors and leading medical professionals standby. Together, we are revolutionary in our approach, committed to appropriately levels of confidence in our product, data and strategy. I'm proud to standby and help lead an organization focused on low care, availability and actionable insights that align to our mission. We are leading the charge by being proactive and transparent that starts from our board down to the strategic minds that help us transform the space.
Most people: 😳😳😳
What? 🤣😂
Nice job, it's amazing how in PR dialect you can use 300, 500 words and say absolutely nothing, yet this template is so generic that it's applicable to any industry of your liking.
😳🤯😨😵💫
I always thought I was stupid for not understanding what these CEOs and politicians were getting at and then I realized it's by design. Most are meant to confuse you so you can just trust them in their confidence.

Elizabeth: “I’m an engineer.”
Reality: “I’m a 1st year college dropout.”
"I'm an engineer." What degree? What certifications?
She dropped out in her first year of engineering.
That makes her a "fabricator", as in "liar".
She got accepted to a top university with many scholarships and honor classes so she's definitely an above average individual
No, nothing
Aj Maybe she conned her way into that as well.
Fun fact. Elizabeths proprietary technology was actually just an easy bake oven. It was named “Edison” as an homage to the light bulb based cooking system.
Shes trying so hard to be a Jobs or Bezos or Zuckerberg or a mix of them all.

The frustrating part in this video is not Elizabeth, it's Fortune magazine. They are still giving her a platform to spread her lies despite everything that came out by then.
Fortune magazine should be on trial for supporting the fraud
This was how they pulled off the scam, they only spoke to media and investors that had no medical/scientific background, so she could spew her gibberish unchecked. Only at the very end when the company was completely collapsing did she agree to finally sit down and talk to real scientists, and they just laughed at her. After that, no one ever listened to her BS again
@@theequalizer2727 lol 😀
Yes yes...everybody condoning her actions. If we were in her place we would already be behind b rs.
True.
Just reading "Bad blood" - it's incredible, superb writing.
Is it just me or did she start this interview with a deeper voice and gets higher when sidetracked by tough talk?
I agree.....she can't keep it up. That man knew she was lying...As much as she tried to confuse and get him to forget his questions with her BS & senseless rants, that man went right back to the original question.
She met her match. I mean, look how embarrassed she looked each time he asked a question that has the potential to expose her. Inside, she's praying for the interview to end.
Horrible....
yeah her normal voice comes through
Yep, she slowly forgets. There are lots of clips of her forgetting to do it.

Every time she is asked a question she has a magical way to start answering with a proposed sophisticated vocabulary of taking about absolute NOTHING! Im sure she has developed it by experience
That's because she's a classic sociopath.
She’s a master at bullshit.
As an introvert, I envy those who could speak so much about basically nothing. I have a hard life as my speaking skills comprises of a very few words. Most people find me boring, so proportionally I have a few friends, who unfortunately happens to take advantage of my naivety. I wouldn't mind copying these ways of real life supervillains
"Im an engineer" LMFAO she says it with a straight face too.
I was thinking the same thing, like whhhaatttt. You are delusional is what you are.
That constant nodding makes her look like a bobble-head figurine.
AFTER clarifying that she's NOT a pr person
so now we're just saying dream things
"You put blood in here and the 100 tests comes out here. That's how it works. No more questions".
Omg she talks in circle and never answers the questions...

This is why peer review is important. The peer-review process subjects an author's scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field (peers) and is considered necessary to ensure academic scientific quality.
Don't be an idiot
Agreed, but if you claim to have a new, patentable technology, you can always use that as an excuse to skip peer review, since peer review could basically enable the reviewers to get all details of your technology by the time the review is done.
What are you on about mate? Even peer reviewed sources can be biased. You are making the same mistake as the investors who poured 9 billion dollars on Theranos just because Theranos was backed up by some guy called Henry Kissinger.
" I am an Engineer " - Starts with a lie to begin with.
Ankit Duttagupta she never finished her degree.... She was drop out
@@yellowstone4087 She literally went to school 2 semesters. I don't know about you but as an engineering student...most of those first semesters are spent on general education and MATH AND MORE MATH. Not on what your major is...how can she even say, "I am an engineer" with a straight face. Its such an insult to everyone that sacrifices having a life during college as STEM majors.
"I'm an ENGINEER." On what planet is she suddenly an engineer?
She told this Lie in the first 5 minutes and he didn't call her on it.
She never answers a question either "yes" or "no" then with elaboration, she simply puts a bunch of words together. i've seen this ploy many times in my career but not, literally, every single question answered this way.
False she is not an engineer .. She didn't graduate.. she is a social Engineer though ..meaning a con artist
you do know that there is no product and that all this hype is smoke and mirrors. she has a gazillion lawsuits her way plus a banning from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to own and operate a lab for 2 years
In science and technology training is critical. If she would have completed her chemical engineering (or biomedical) degree at Stanford she would have learned the difference between smokes and mirrors and a product that works. She is a gifted pitch woman to raise investor money and that's about it. I am a degreed engineer and I understand that any of my designs need to be submitted for peer review prior to launching it. For the kind of improvement she seeks to improve a masters degree in biomedical engineering would have to be earned at minimum, if not a doctoral degree. Now look at this mess she is in
u still got internet?
I came to a conclusion that only crooks get the funding and Investors to get far ahead. If you're a smart Crook, you get away. If you mess up as a Crook, I guess you go to prison.

"Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king" B. Dylan
As someone who has owned and operated a blood testing lab, I can tell you how strict the requirements are for quality control. Theranos never should have gotten away with preventing fed inspectors from their oversight. Lab testing is first and foremost about patient safety. Her comments about giving patients “access to their own health information” shows how clueless she really is. Patients don’t need “access” to lab results that are inaccurate!!
Yes the other thing that bothers me about false lab results is, at the very least, have to be repeated and verified at the patient’s expense but some of those patients had ER visits and scans, etc. I know she cheated her investors but patients who had to have further testing lost $$$ too
TheVertigoalley
When CMS first shut down her lab in Newark, CA, her lab director was a part-time dermatologist who had no oversight of QC. Afterward, she acted surprised, and said that she thought they were doing things the right way.
@@TheVertigoalley She opened the lab as a backup plan because her devices wouldn't get FDA approval. That's why her lab was not a quality lab to begin with but to be used as a way to bypass FDA oversight. It was a clever business trick that bought her more time to try to develope their Edison devices.
They got away with it because she had those heavyweights as board members. She knew they would act as a shield and prevent closer scrutiny.
@@Juju2012ZA What you said....plus she tried to get Rupert Murdock to kill the WSJ story with a phone call. She thinks she is that special
It’s crazy how she talks and talks and talks around questions and never truly answers the questions asked of her. She is truly and pathological liar
I'm guessing this is one of the last interviews that Elizabeth walked away from feeling like she could still pull this out of the fire.
"I am definitely not a PR person". LOL. Keep lying, dear.
Thats all she was. Thats why her answer at trial is, i dont know.
But she is an engineer
Now it seems like everybody on the top is at least a liar
She was the ONLY face of her company, in commercials, interviews, articles, front cover coverage, etc. And in one commercial, her face was in the entire advertisement talking and staring at you. Her lies are out of control.
@@Stuff_happens NOPE
"I'm not really a PR person." Yeah. Right. 😂😂😂
That's an insult to PR people. I think the appropriate term is either snake-oil salesman or bullshit artist.
She doesn’t even know that “data” is the plural of “datum.” It’s not “that data,” it’s “THOSE data.”
Look at how at ease she is with telling bold faced lies. This is why I believe she (and anyone who was complicit in this venture) should be punished to the laws maximums. The only thing that will keep them unpunished is their wealth, and the ability to pay lawyers that won't challenge any wrongdoings, but the semantics of the accusations.
All the scientists working in her company that never blew the whistle, all the high profile people she fooled including former US Presidents and Secretaries of State… The billionaires who invested in her company… It took 12 years from the companies founding before the cover was blown by an investigative journalist, not the scientists working for the company. 12 years… For an **obvious** fraud.
And people think scientists are somehow as incorruptible and as holy as the dalai lama.
In order to soften her sentence, after she was arraigned, she went out and got a rich boyfriend, 2 dogs and had 2 babies !!! Talk about diabolical !!! Who does that ? She’s not gonna see her kids for 10 years !!!
Fortune never asked the money question: "Are your test results accurate?"
Because the guy who asked these questions is a complele moron. It is so obvious that he did not know what to ask.
"So, isn't Theranos all bullshit?"
"Bro, bro, bro, be cool. We're all bros here, right? Be cool, bro."
Nailed it 😂
ok bro, now we bro
Her going in and out of the voice is funny while watching this lolol it’s like a game 😂
The FACT that Fortune put her on the cover just shows how much appearance, $peculation, and wishful thinking can twist people's vulnerability....supposedly smart people duped by a blond with crazy eyes, a dark voice, and ZERO specifics.
Yes, and even more than duped, it was incredibly irresponsible of Fortune to not include opinions of top scientists in the field. There are teams who have been working for twenty years + to try blood testing for more than one result at a time. She was turned away from some health and science investors in Silicon Valley because she could not answer questions and got in a huff about it and left.
john Barry @Lynn Ross - I could picture that.
Someone should do a case study on her. She’s eerie.
It's interesting how everyone is creeped out by her but also fascinated... I really think if she were a man & did the same thing with politics, she would have been president of U.S. or Russia or Germany back in the day ... if she were a man & went into politics people would follow her like a crazy cult like they usually do & she would have never been charged with anything
@@tw8464 lol
It’s really nuts that she had almost no technical or scientific knowledge of how to accomplish what it was she shot for. She just thought she could put smart people in a room and tell them what she wanted. She couldn’t even begin to explain the science behind her theory.
Steve Jobs was her idol
she doesn't really seem to have a conscience. she doesn't seem right in the head. she seems about some kind of self-gradiosity. but she might have been successful just in getting money because her vision was something people wanted to be very badly who wouldn't want one little finger prick & get 200 tests with no long blood draws & everything else she promised. it's hard to tell if she was just B.S. the whole time or if she actually wasn't different than the people she fooled she wanted it to be true so much she just kept crossing the line lying about it. but maybe she actually believed it & was like some kind of fanatic. but yeah it's like the dream is based in reality only in that there is a need for it & people want it, but other than that, she's got nothing real to make it happen but thinks just talking about it & collecting money can make it real ... but there's so much of her own self-grandiosity wrapped up in it like she wants to be Steve Jobs
okay maybe I can boil it down better ... I think she is so self-grandiose that if it wasn't this "finger prick" thing she would've made something else up just so she could pretend she's Steve Jobs - the whole thing is really more about she just wanted to be Steve Jobs despite some part of her she probably knew herself but tried not to face up to, she really didn't have enough brains or skills to actually be a real innovator & the only thing she is good at is scamming
Steve jobs did literally the exact same thing. I’m all for shitting on this chick but let’s not ignore jobs and many of the other ceos of tech companies that operate this exact same way.
@@frankytanky5076tech companies are not the same as sciense AND medical ones, this wasnt about a dumb app or a phone this was More complex than that.
When she is really nervous about answering a question and really squirming she forms an invisible shape in her hands and moves it back and forth so that the interviewer will focus on what's "in her hands" and not what she is saying.....EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
She is an engineer? I'm the president of United States of the world
United States of the world huh?
Congrats!😆
You are Ric Flair
@@kritische3959 It's sarcasm.
Yes, Mr President.
She should have gone into politics instead of healthcare, her lies and money are more suited to that.
😭😂
“Transition to the FDA framework…” Isn’t that the process they should have been following all along? What use is a medical product without FDA approval?
To print money
11 years in jail is a extremely low penalty for her. Thats my opinion as an MD
It's insane how people let her get away with these long, rambling and ultimately meaningless answers when you get an F in school for doing just that in reports or exams - rightfully so. Basically the bare minimum of what you have to offer seems to be a higher stake in 8th grade than in Silicon Valley.
Looking back that Ted Talk clip is kind of funny. "Nanotainer" lol

Watching the Hulu series really brings it back to this full circle. Just mind blowing.
That’s why I’m here too. Crazy story
She dropped out of college in her second year, she is not an engineer.
... that was just another bold face lie .. stated with such run of the mill confidence .. "I'm an engineer!" .. LIE!!!
but she is definitely a good sales, i am learning sales technique from her..
Lying isn't a good sales technique.
The fact that she didn’t have anyone with healthcare or a science background pretty much sums up her thought process. She didn’t want real experts calling her con out. Instead she chose folks in other areas who were powerful people meant to draw more people into her con for sake of publicity and getting more investors.
Yeah let's put former Secretary of State, George Shultz, on the board. He has no science background and he looks remarkably like the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz.
I don’t know what the end game was for her, she knew the technology did not work at all. She knew she couldn’t just keep lying forever. Even in this interview she knew that all her lies would be exposed. There was never any way for her to get out of this. The only possible thing she could have done was delay it, and try to take more time to develop it, why she went ahead and sold the product before it worked is beyond me, she knew she was doomed once she put her broken product in customers hands
"I'm an engineer" says Elizabeth Holmes who dopped out of engineering school after her freshman year.

Why should She be locked up any more than the rest of them? These psychopaths aren't much different from the people who work for them and claim them were tricked. The difference being they are more intelligent and have willpower.
