Youngest self-made female billionaire takes high-tech approach to blood testing

- Elizabeth Holmes is being compared to visionaries like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Holmes founded a biotech company called Theranos in 2003, and her mission is to allow blood testing in every drugstore at a fraction of Medicare costs. Norah O'Donnell reports on how her tiny invention is reshaping health care.
“Little is known about how Theranos tests work”
That line has aged… lol
It aged like Katie Hopkins!
It's aged like milk
Easy! They don’t work!
Hehe we know a bit more now ...
😂😂
The fact that anyone believed her with zero evidence is shocking
She hypnotized people with her eyes
Contracts with conglomerates 🤯
Shhhh!!! It's trade secret.
Welcome to religion! lol so many fools it's hilarious
@@Poker-is8dt change your name to joker
“Healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy “ Yep she nailed that one.
Lols
Yes, and all the investment money that went to her company wasn't available to deal with those runaway costs.
This is a quality comment.
Only in America. I wonder why? Other countries must have access to magic blood machines.
What a nice lady! Theranos looks like it's going to truly change the world for the better. I sure hope she isn't lying about literally everything.
Lmao 💀 🤣
it's literally a scam
Never trust a person who never blinks.
she did blink a few times during the interview.
@@axmortz Like once, lol.
@iverr6: it's a pity you can only count to one. Maybe close TH-cam and go to school some time? Just a suggestion.
She does blink. Her eyes make her look crazy. And she is crazy.
She does blinked
Interviewer: how does it work?
Holmes: we've created a small tube to replace the big tube.
*Interviewer stunned*
Bangali?
I can create a small tube too!
She didn't even make a face so 🤷♀️
ههههههههههههه
@Neil O'Neal oh come on that wasn't all. It was her manly voice to.
“Little is known about how Theranos tests work”
*looks at the camera like I’m on the office*
I remember watching this on the news and my parents both said , “how can you get that many results with such a small amount of blood?” 😂😂
Smart parents.
Technology! The Genalyte Maverick is doing what Elizabeth couldn't.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what many investors also asked and Elizabeth would just wave her hand and say: "Ehhh....Science...." and people were like "Ahhh...ok...".
Her eyes freak me out
Call me crazy tin foil hatter but I bet 50 bucks that she is alien from other planet or solar system.
Ya. Same here. Her eyes somehow tell everyone. Why is she trying to get her eyes out so much. Didn't people feel it?
me too, they are too big
She looks like she’s got exothalmus caused by a thyroid problem
It scares me too🙄
“She had a little money and a big idea”
Correction: she grew up with a multimillion dollar trust fund and billionaire family friends. This allowed her to never need a 9-5 job to pay the bills and easily get access to funding for her “idea”
The media with these fabricated success stories.
Why not to lock her up as they do it with Assange. She caused more danger to society than Wikileaks reveals.
Exactly!
@@IamGodSon after working in tech for a decade one thing I learned is that media outlets are just paid marketing channels. They don’t report news, they report whatever you pay them to say. All PR and branding b.s
@@HopefulInterventions charmed the Jury, she is a con artist just like Bernie Madoff, one male jury has been charmed by her.
The reason she succeeded is because in society we are in love with the idea of a young dropout showing up all the "fogeys with PhDs" who said "it can't be done". Again and again we refuse to believe boring experts and pick the maverick instead. There will be plenty of more Elizabeth Holmes because fundamentally we are anti-intellectual and resent real expertise.
You absolutely nailed it with this comment.
As a 26 year old entrepreneur, i was looking for inspiring business movies or series to watch. It is now 3 AM, i could not stop binging The Dropout series. I stumbled onto this without diving too deep in the trailers. During episode 1,2 and 3 i was rooting for Elizabeth because the entrepreneurial spirit it takes to overcome obstacles. About 4 episodes in i started hating this woman with every fiber in me. By the time she changed her voice to be more "deep" i was about to pull my hair out. Can you imagine the bone chilling shock i got at the end of episode 8 when they started listing the real-life case updates, it was literally just then that i realized this was a real life event. I am young and not from the US, so i never heard of Theranos or the real Elizabeth. This is insane on a level unimaginable. Elizabeth, you are a disgrace to all Women, Humanity and the entire Entrepreneur Society. The fact that even after all this, you can remain cool about your crimes proves you are a psychopathic monster with alien eyes, a demons hart and an insufferable pretentious voice. I hope justice prevails in honor of all lives lost, families ruined financially or in health. F YOU!
I agree totally. She's psychopath.
11 years in prison. Started a few days ago.
Calm down. You watched a popular series, that is not a world changing event.
Ridiculous how this was a series for us to find out 🙈.. never heard of her!
@@italia689
Already reduced to 9 years
The fact that she managed to fool so many people for over a decade is pure madness.
It's Gone Girl on steroids!
Right? I can’t wrap my head around this
nah, it's white privilege.
@@jones2277 nah apparently it was her voice that people make such a big deal about. How does someone get manipulated by a voice ? I have no idea 😂😂
@@uPSIDEdOWN577 lower voices seem more trustworthy- wiser, if you will. Some people are just stupid enough to ignore the signs.
Honestly, I would go to a professional for blood diagnostics.
This company is going to be hit up with lawsuits for false negatives and false positives.
Dang dude, you were pretty spot on
How did you know?
@@Jst4fun817 I don't even remember posting this comment. I'm going to watch the vid again and try to understand why I came to that conclusion.
@@Jst4fun817 OK, watched the clip again.
At 2:55, CBS actually does its job as journalists and raises a red flag
about the secrecy of Theranos's methods.
Right there I smelled something rotten in Denmark.
Namely, a rotten 31-year old Alpha Female con artist.
Most probably because I encountered the type before,
both male and female.
If it sounds too good to be true
-it probably is.
You are a prophet
Amanda Seyfried did a great job impersonating her terrible voice 🤣🤣🤣
Update . . . She's in jail . . .
This aged like milk.
😂😂
Nah, this is a multi flavored cringe wine.
Keeps well when sealed and heat treated… lol
Haha, brilliant!
convicted milk now!
Didnt anyone notice she never gave any details about the process?
Same with the TED talk. No data whatsoever
Reminds me of Fuckerberg during his trial. Ugh. People are so gullible. These interviews though, even though they are not roasting her, you can tell the interviewer is not believing her.
thats what she's been doing for the last 10+ years lol, just incredible how long she was able to get by with that lie
same crap with elon tech daddie. the fanboys of the cult of silicone valley are really gullible and these are the same industrialist worshippers who trash talk religious people but here we are.
And yet idiots still invested in this
This lady seems very trustworthy and competent! There is no chance her company's technology is an elaborate fraud and she's the medical industry's Bernie Madoff. Give this woman 9 billion dollars and don't ask questions!
COOL! WHERE DO I SIGN UP!
Caroline Ellison - Pfft. Fraud. Hold my latte...
"If it's all white, it's all right!" 👌
That fact that anyone, including news media, would believe a college dropout could make medical innovations that PhDs couldn't achieve is scary... We should all be more skeptical of people like her
I mean she was a college dropout from Stanford lol
@@sahraskellington1065 its totally different... They built companies based on programming. She was building a company based on medicine. No one in their early 20's knows enough medicine to claim they can have the solution to a certain medical issue, PLUS you would be risking lives
eche ar you‘re right, I never thought about it that way. I guess it is very different when it comes to the medical field.
its called female narrative. you cant question her cos then youre a women hating virgin whos just jealous cos you didnt score and didnt get the billions. even you have 3 phds in neuroscience and haematology. sad that USA is taking the wolrd in this direction. ME, I cannot seriously believe that there werent men in that science field that wanted to question her statements. from other leading companies for example. But they were too afraid to have their carrier destroyed and called a womenhater by the mainstream media.
Programming is a new field...starting in only 80s...
Medicine in 4000 years of knowledge....by the time a doctor completes his education he is in late 20s to early 30s...
And if you want research then you have to train more years
This story shows how gullible the media is.
You're right, but it's also the media (WSJ) that exposed her.
And investors too
all they know is to deliver race baiting news
The journalists are apart of the craziness, they fed into this story
Don investors and everyone else believed her too. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.? Trumper
She's not even blinking 😂
The moment I heard that voice I knew something wasn't right.
Had a strong feeling that she was lying the entire time, just a pure GUT feeling.
Surprised so many people didn't get the same feelings when looking at her and watching her speak.
And the media LOVED her, so that was also a huge red flag.
She literally gave no information as to how it works.
She only talks in detail about the nanotainers size and purpose and that's it. Probably because that's the only thing from her company she desinged herself, and because the "tiny tube" that can hold blood Is the only thing that works.
If you watch documentaries on theranos they talk about how their information was confidential and privatized. Investors would ask how it worked and they would say well we cant give you all the details sorry its to protect our secrets.
That's what kills me. I think part of it is just bad journalism. You have to ask the real questions and you cant accept answers that are vague and don't get to the heart of the matter. But then people were so hopeful for this technology they suspended their disbelief which is very sad that this woman fooled everyone, invested in spreading unfinished technology instead of trying to actually finish the technology. Ultimately bad people like Elizabeth Holmes are going to make it much harder for people who are willing to go to the lengths to get new technology made because nobody's going to want to believe in them.
Abbott Laboratories has the I-Stat, they spent a decade developing it and a ton of money. It only does something like 12 tests from a sample. Which is coincidentally the total number of tests that Theranos could get to work.
@@shelbycurry721 Good points about journalism. But, there was no actual technology to finish here. This was a scam from the very beginning.
It's interesting to hear terms like "self made" and "perseverance" when talking about someone who was born a millionaire. It's like words don't mean anything.
Most "Self Made" rich people weren't Self Made at all. They just started business separate from their parents, but still took advantage of all the privileges, education, financial resources AND connections they got from their parents. Rarely any of them were middle class or below.
@@MatameVideos Exactly. Calling her self made is a JOKE. Her family came from old OLD money.
@@MatameVideos Yep. It’s probably true for most Billionaires
Welcome to the real world Randy. It takes money to make money and rags to riches stories are few and far between. You want success? Work hard and you’ll be richer at 60 than you are at 30. Make a good base for your children who can then do the same.
Eh, it about what’s been achieved not any arbitrary starting point. Turning millions of dollars into billions of dollars is arguably as significant or more than someone becoming a millionaire from a lower middle class background. Someone who came from third world poverty would scoff at the “self-made” millionaire that grew up in the first world because they started much lower. Having the attitude that anyone who’s born wealthy’s achievements are worthless or “not fully earned” is a less privileged person’s cope
I can understand why you might be shocked by the story of Elizabeth Holmes and her company, Theranos. It's certainly a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and unethical behavior. You put what I thought in my mind, perfectly into words that make so much sense! All the best on your entrepreneurial journey!
So cute Anna
She should have been a politician and never got caught Lol
Look at the Democrats who are trying to keep her out of prison.
It's sad that a big reason people wanted to see her succeed is that she was a young, driven woman, and she ended up setting a horrible example for young girls and women.
@Sylvia Scarlett Honestly, if you think one person sets back half the human population, you're part of the problem. SMH
@Sylvia Scarlett So one self made billionaire represents over 4 billion people? Wow, you're more gullible than the investors lol
She also used that fact to her advantage…
💯
That's why she got so much funding is because people aren't gender blind and have bias. This allowed them to be fooled easier by a con.
She literally doesn't answer ANY question. None. She really does rely on the interviewers lack of knowledge about biomedical science.
She's very good at responding to direct questions with a bunch of buzzwords and bamboozling. She should have been a politician, she'd fit right in
yep, just saying things that will make the other person clueless, makes herself sound smart.
yeah so where were cbs medical consultants the msm is all hype
@@MrRaulstrnad Exactly. You mean to tell me NO ONE with a biomedical background called her suspicious???
Why would she expose it ? So people can copy her idea ?
Why does she have that Mark Zuckerberg look in her eyes lol
This seems ground breaking! Conrats to Holmes she seems very smart and trustworthy and not deceitful at all. Been awhile but Im sure they are just finishing things up in the lab 😊
please💀💀
Maybe they'll let her set up a lab in her cell once she reports to federal prison?
plot twist
she already finished up in the lab but people sabotaged it
because you know, that finished product will take money out of too many people's pocket
She dropped out of Stanford after 2 semesters, knows nothing about lab protocols and techniques but you can see her wearing a lab coat. Watch out, this must be a true scientist!
The media loves that visual. Woman in a labcoat
I gotta hand it to her: she's an excellent liar. Every answer she gives not only seems to make sense (despite barely being an answer at all), but also conveniently throws out an idea which feels exciting. It feels straight to the point, but it's actually a misdirection. If anyone's wondering how she managed to manipulate the entire world, that's how
Misdirection was key for the whole thing. This allowed her to skate on this theory of hers for so many years
She seems to be a psychopath. She’s an excellent liar for sure.
I don’t know if I’m just less trusting than the average person, but I’ve never walked away from one of her interviews feeling like she had been genuine. On a side note, I remember being in a doctor’s office and seeing her on the cover of a magazine. Something about her just made me uneasy. I read the article and thought, “Oh, wow. Don’t judge a book by its cover.” A few years later, I end reading about the huge scam that Theranos ended up being. Chilling.
The US is not the whole world. My country never talked about her 😑
As scummy as it is, she really should’ve just gone into politics. You can’t use deceit & lies to run a tech/medical company (since you do actually need to know wtf you’re doing), but you can certainly lie your way into political office.
I still can’t believe that media wasn’t at all skeptical about her credibility.
It’s the voice alone that does it
Because she was a "lady"
I didn't follow this story back then but looking at it now, as a doctor, it's absolutely terrifying. How did ANYONE fall for this?!?!
I’m a clinical lab tech and I remember driving by Theranos in about 2010…. I work with the instruments that test this blood and I wondered how the heck could’ve 19 year old fake voice dropout come up with some thing that Beckman Coulter and Siemens couldn’t come up with? I smelled something fishy way back then
Most people don’t have a medical background. Many of her investors were people with money, but no science knowledge p.
If i was a filmmaker i would hire her for horror movies
No joke.. if a movie comes out, I'll be intrigued!
Jorge Arellano Mother of gawd... YES! Just take my money!
Yep, this whole story is incredible and it takes so much dedication, intelligence, acting skills, craziness, cold blood to be committed to such a huge lie for so much time...it's scary. I'm so excited for the movie starring Jennifer Lawrence (PERFECT casting) and with the Big Short's Adam McKay directing...Oscar material.
She is scary
lol
It's going to be tough for Jennifer Lawrence to do her voice when Hollywood makes a movie about her rise and fall.
chrisizme2 yup. Easy casting there
Mira sorvino should play her 🙂
Or Mackenzie Davis, her voice is already at that range.
Wow, nice prediction.
They should cast a woman for that role. Just to create a row.
2:08 cocaine? Wasn’t expecting to see that lol.
Great catch 🤣
Wow, very inspirational.. I really wish this young lady the best in her endeavors and may she prosper with her quest to help people in need.

You funny mate
Just so everyone knows: You can drop out of Stanford and re-enter whenever you want. My friend dropped out in 1994 and went back in 2005. They're one of the few universities in the country with that policy.
I don't think Stanford will be taking her back
She is going to federal prison now.
Annony Mouse lmao😂😂😂😂😂
I doubt she can anymore...
@@TheSeancassady the dollar tree might take her
How anyone could believe that a college dropout with no medical or biomedical training could come up with medical miracles is beyond me. There really is a sucker born every minute.
She also targeted certain investors that are family run and not sophisticated in the way they did their due diligence. The red flag was that there was no investor that specialized in biopharma that invested in theranos
No b it’s rich yt privilege
Same reason how people would believe how other billionaire dropout could make it
Great Man Theory + white privilege? They see this confident, young, charismatic white woman in a Steve Jobs jumper and assume that she must be a scientist.
Some very rich suckers with millions to invest.
She was never actually a real billionaire. She never had a billion dollars in her bank account. She was on the path of becoming a billionaire because of her company's high valuation. But until an entrepreneur actually gets the opportunity to sell stock for cash, it's not at all accurate to call them a "billionaire". The process of obtaining real money can take years and sometimes it doesn't pan out even when there's no fraud.
I'm just here looking for comments from the original upload but their all hiding
It looks like she's trying not to malfunction.
There may be a Fembot underneath the mask.
I know there’s something very, very off about her. I thought she was like a clone or under mind control. Lol
@@Jaywall1111 but the point is the interviewers should have noticed something was wrong they should have brought in medical professional to provide advice and asked tougher questions in the next round there were so many red flags flying that one would have thought they were attending a chinese communist party congress
Very funny. ~ (Chuckle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
She is a female clone of Mark Zuckerberg
“Who says that when they’re 9 years old?”...a 9 year old psychopath
Agreed.
Some people are born mistakes, and she was born a demon.
Maybe someone who at 9 realizes that school (and life) is a bit of a game, and saying something like that gets the teacher on your side forever basically..?
"So how does it work?"

@@miketheyunggod2534 are they?
Amanda Seyfried has really nailed her character. Incredible acting performance.
I wasn't impressed when I started watching, but within 5 or 6 episodes I was blown away.
I just finished that show and i agree. Amanda Seyfried was amazing. Elizabeth holmes’ behavior and demeanor is honestly so annoying and repulsive to me, from her fake deep voice to the way she responds to questions without actually providing truthful answers.
Amanda did an amazing job portraying her. She’s an amazing actor.
I can't help but feel annoyed though that they made a show based on her, seeing how she is an absolute narcissist.

@@thefashionhoe there's a few short clips floating around that show her voice change, there on TH-cam.
@@thefashionhoe If you watch the video of Elizabeth Holmes on Mad Money talking to Jim Cramer then you will hear her voice change. She starts off with a deep voice saying "first they think you're crazy" but by the end of the video she loses the deep voice and you can hear her natural voice. On the HBO documentary her employees said they thought the deep voice was real until the office party when she drank too much wine and forgot to put on the fake voice.

Redcatrobe hahaha yes she is @@
Redcatrobe
She said in another interview that small tubes enabled testing of small samples.
Right?
"We got some tubes, and dont u hate needles? And when the tests are done they're done, and then the customer will leave and then its done"

She knew what she was doing
only problem is that this technique does not work...
👏
You should be our next FBI director you knew this year's before.
I think the media should also be held responsible for their faulty reporting and lazy investigating.
What are you talking about? The Wall Street Journal did an elaborate piece on Theranos and brought them down.
Of course not, she was a "self made FEMALE billionaire", same rules don't apply if u have a vagina, so nobody really sat down and grilled her proper when she side steps EVERY question posed to her lol
No due diligence. NONE.
@@theroamingsavage8813 yeah, like that horrible woman Bernie Madoff
@@beckydoesit9331 let’s not pretend for a moment the media didn’t built and hyped her up... all too eager with this female empowerment / breaking the glass ceiling nonsense. And they still haven’t learned.
Her whole business was built on her flirting with old men to get their money, and talking in her "deep voice." lolol
well this aged beautifully
what's odd about her demeanor is that I think she actually believes she is a visionary even thought some part of her brain probably knows it's all a fraud, perhaps some kind of split personality disorder.
Bwahaha 👍🤯
Probably a narcissist
She's a real-life Alfred Wesker
Or maybe that’s just her being narcissistic and believing herself to be special even though she knows what she is saying is not true , but she is determined to make a fool all of us and to hold her fake image up
The fitting definition is 'self deception'
She didn't answer the question about if it drew enough blood for several tests.
Because it she didn’t have the medical background to be able to answer that, which is why it’s now under
Glad to see you sane before they caught her.
lol well done, you aren’t a sheep.
And she still hasn’t 😂
And the interviewer didnt press for answer
I bet she watched that episode of SpongeBob where he’s selling chocolate and conning customers saying it does this does that and and she thought “I can do that too but with blood”
The comment section is gold; amazing how many viewers could clock the fact that holmes was a sociopathic fraud - and were proven right.
Or maybe it was just the awful eyeliner, cheesy turtlenecks and phony baritone.
She is a psychopath. I have met another psychopath from harvard in 2013. Who doesn't blink too.
yea but why are most of them edited LMAO
She wanted to be just like steve jobs; so she dressed and adopted deep baritone just like her idol.
Really?....all I've noticed is people seeing with 20/20 hindsight: "Those fools!!!....I would never have been fooled by her myself!!!!"
How can you trust anybody who cannot even speak with their real voice.
"We've created these little tiny tubes" ... lol... that's about all they created :) congratulations!
Actually they didnt invent the tiny tube. The 'microtainer' was invented in 1976. Theranos just renanmed it to 'nanotainer'.
They created you tubes.
pipettes already exist for blood draws.
Hey have you EVER seen tubes that tiny!
That's pretty impressive!
The only reason blood tests require so much blood, is because the damn tubes were so big!
@@EmeraldView Yes. Companies sell them to science labs on the daily. I'm holding one right now. It's pink. :)
That 👁 contact she’s giving me is frightening
When the adderall has taken over the brain. Pure psycho.
To be fair some of the medical experts have doubts on her claims, especially since she hasn't disclosed how her company can pull it off.
cervacio her tech is not FDA approved. how does she get around it? she runs it all through her own company.
cervacio I also read an article about real scientists having many concerns about her process. I was skeptical from the beginning when I found out she was a drop out with no research experience.
***** thats a bunch of crap. its not that hard to replicate her process, its basic, every lab in the world does the things her company does. its routine. but the difference is labs wont do a cbc off of just a fingerstick. thats irresponsible. you cantget enough info from the blood from your peripheral veins compared to your venous veins.
her billion dollar company is based off of good marketing. she happened to make her lab in silicon valley and sprout forward.
Tony Abraham That's funny, because I didn't mention any details. You clearly have a very surface level (if you can even call it that) understanding of what her company does. All the technical details of her 'innovation' are kept secret -- so you know nothing. What I was referring to is the application of 'microfluidics' and specifically how the technology works. A big part of the process is publishing these results for review, and her company has published nothing. Experts are suspicious -- there is no question about that.
"thats a bunch of crap."
lol. Learn how to talk like a grownup.
***** pms? wtf is wrong with our society to end up making a bunch of panies. i didnt ask for any "details" from you.. so dont worry about it lol.. geez u act like ur her autobiographer or something.
anyways i work in a lab too, we do the same exact thing as she does but broader. we recieve finger sticks from collectors in microcontainers. we run cbcs etc on them. u can make that into a poc machine and cut out the middle man. its a bit risky to do so bc blood tubes, (drawn through a needle are better), actual blood results are different. so her company is a farse. its just good marketing.
"So how does it work?" the interviewer asks. "Little tiny tubes." No further questions about the technology? Just tiny tubes?
Marion Ostrach exactly my thought. One of the many central questions would be, how can a sample that small suffice for the wide range of diagnostics she promises. Further, how reliable would the results be. And many many more.
Marion Ostrach The reporter DID ask several follow up questions.
Interviewer didnt ask important questions like what type of machine was being used to test the blood
Pamela Marie No point in asking for what... the name?... of a machine they made.
@@theespatier4456 Not asking for the "name" of the machine, but ask how does the machine work, explain about the process, what type of diseases does it test, ect. Interviewer asked no relevant questions.
This aged well.
This aged like a 7 year old milk left out of the fridge.
I work in healthcare and the first time I heard about this, my reaction was a mix of amazement and fear. 10% amazed at the idea and 90% being fear as I knew this was never gonna work.
100%not gonna work its scientifically not possible what she is suggesting
how do you know? I would like to have your opinion as a healthcare professional
@@amazon2.022 because she claimed to be able to fit analytical equipment that normally take up the space of a minor factory hall into a tiny PC-sized cabinet. The different analytical equipments interfere with each other if placed closely together. Electromagnetic and light interferences from sensors will distort the signal and lead to inaccurate measurements. Plus; making 250 different analyses from such a tiny amount of blood would require the samples to be massively diluted, which again reduces precision. So yes, from a technological standpoint, her product was impossible with current day technology. She would have had to invent entirely new ways of doing testing in each of these 250 biological markers. Completely unrealistic.
I went to the blood draw and asked the phlebotomist if this was possible and they laughed and said from the moment they heard about it they knew it was impossible. So I wonder if the people who invested even think to ask the blood draw people like I did?
@@set65 don’t y’all get it? No? We’ll maybe you will one day, unless you’re white then you problem won’t understand.
Elizabeth’s case is a classic example of the phrase “it’s easier to fool someone than to convince them that they have been fooled”. I think Elizabeth came in at just the right time. People were making the unimaginable happen in tech and she was able to ride that wave. Then, once these intelligent and prominent people had jumped on the band wagon, they had to keep believing in her rather than admit to themselves and the world that they had been fooled. It’s also true that sometimes you’re a hero or a villain based upon the outcome. If Holmes had done things exactly as she had but by some happy accident her tech had worked, I wonder how this story would have been framed. Is our real problem with Holmes all of the unethical behavior or simply that she failed?
Very interesting point
Her tech was never going to work - the core issue is definitively that she lied to investors, falsified information, and defrauded people. In her soft defense, the fact that investors handed over insane amounts of money with little to no diligence or fact finding on their end is insane - she took extreme advantage of the fact that people "trusted" her in the age of innovation. She is a straight up criminal, but people essentially allowed her to become a criminal so that is also on them.
Insightful take
@@corksterx1 that core issue exists with many tech companies that eventually became successful as well, but you don’t hear about it because they were successful. The fake it till you make it can go two ways. Look at the tech sector with so many companies/startups that don’t turn a profit.
@@rockychang7595 the difference is she knew it didn’t work and still told people it did, and taking their money. Tech companies do the same, but they can hide behind the guise of it being new technology. Medicine however is different because it deals with peoples lives, lying about a treatment that you know doesn’t work is not the same as inventing new technology and asking for investor money to get it pushed out.
Having worked with toxic “start up entrepreneurs” before, her behavior is much much more than common. It’s disgusting how theses types of people can influence others 🤢
yup there are tons of them now especially from america
confident and clueless talking big
What’s the biggest crime? Whatever Elizabeth did or Norah naively gushing over this obvious nutcase.
she look tense, her eyes almost never blink.
+Firman Syafei she loves the attention and the adulation but the chickens are starting to come home to roost, shes got nothing to show after ten years
+juanjeremy2012 Actually you fell for the PR, see this is sort of a PR campaign to make her well known. So the critics criticizing her that you fell for is pretty much her design to be mentioned in the likes of Steve Jobs and the like. She has been behind the scene for a long time reaping in billions. Now she is self-promoting herself. You need praise AND haters. ;D
~ShiftR0ck~
NO U NEED WORKING PRODUCTS, WHICH SHE DOESNT HAVE. IF U THINK SHES SO GREAT ILL LET U POP HER CHERRY
~ShiftR0ck~
WHAT SUCCESS? AT SCAMMING PEOPLE?
juanjeremy2012 You have proof you deluded fool?!
2:16 Didnt answer the question, that was the reveal right there
BC M And as she was responding she didn't blink almost as if she was trying hard to gauge whether the interviewer was buying her response.
Yep, no answer.
1:16 "Healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy"
*chokes*
I can remember when I first saw Elizabeth Holmes I thought to myself that there was something wrong with her. No one 'normal' has eyes that wide, without blinking, all the time.
How did people not know her voice was fake 😂 It literally sounds like when they distort voices on videos to hide the person's identity.
She was hiding something for sure. Lol. Idk...I fell for it and just thought she had a really low voice.
I'm Batman (in deep voice )
I would never guess anybody fakes that
Yes! 🤣🤣🤣
💯
It's funny that she didn't achieve anything solid, but the media portrayed her as some famous successful celebrity. Don't they know of this saying, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch?"
They wanted it to be true. A female billionaire from silicon valley.
This didn't age well 🙄
The fact that she thought she'd get away with it is astounding
After following through all of her interviews, I noticed her bizarre behaviors; she turned totally red whenever she was asked about her technologies and she actually had to explain about that. In addtiotion, she turned away her eyes from interviewers. All these are typical behaviors people show when they are lying. Her voice souned much less compelling and determined than in situations where she talked about her (mythical) vision, (fake) conviction, (hilarious) motivation, passion (gambling) for healthcare, and her then-status as the youngest self-made female billionaire etc. She should have chosen her career in politics, gambling, marketing or something. She could have been something.
Very astute assessment! And agreed she would’ve thrived as a politician- she has no soul!
Yep, and she is choosing her words very carefully, overthinking. Her super wide eyes, and the way she is trying too hard with everything. She doesn't even sound like she can breathe properly. There is such a creepy vibe from her like something is way off.
Yup careers posdible without knowledge
So true
She should have become a politician
Sorry but “body language” analyses are meaningless, so your comment doesnt have any value.
It's actually pretty impressive that she built a $9,000,000,000 company. If she had done half of that honestly, she would still be a top entrepeneur.
And now she's going to jail.
smoke and mirrors baby. She scammed her way to the top & then got caught with her pants down. Sucks because she probably inspired a lot of young women to be great.
@@DJSt3rling inspired? Thief is a thief
If she'd done it honestly it never would have been worth $9b.
Yeah but thats like robbing 10 banks and saying "oh I could have robbed 5 honestly".
She gets pregnant twice to avoid jail, what a true narcissist
twice?😂
I mean she didn't mean to scam them. She seemed like she actually believed this would work. They decided to invest in the product.

She is Milli Vanilli of Biotech. LOL
Love it!
SPQRCincinnatus 😂
The difference is that Milli Vanilli were able to prove themselves that they are capable of where as, Elizabeth Holmes is just another sorta like a Bernie Madoff. Web of lies until she got caught. Luckily the government hadn’t lay their boots down on her and if they do, then she is gonna get some prison time.
“Girl, you know it’s true, Lizzy’s blood testing works for you”. Lol
Lmao
If she were a black woman she'd be laughed out of existence... I'ma leave it at that
This is so surreal to watch in 2024
@4:13 - She says her dad was moving the family to Texas. What the story doesn’t mention is that he was moving to Houston, Texas to take the job as VP of Enron.
Omg, runs in the family.
That should have drawn a red flag immediately 🤬
*former billionaire.
Indicted today.
What's the purpose of leaving this video up?
If you cannot confrotably hold a specimen container means that container isn't safe to use. I am confused how she managed to get through so many medical errors.
Her dad worked for Enron. She knew a good scam when she saw one.
“Little is known about how Theranos test work”
Pretty much the thoughts of everyone who worked on the project.
Yupppp
@1:15 HealthCare is the leading cause of Bankruptcy! LOL.
I Haven't even heard of her or any of this until the Hulu original series with Amanda Seyfried lol
She tries way too hard to be Steve Jobs.
+Rationalist Faith but at the end of the she is a fraud!
FAHAD Mohamed Most females these days ;). Welcome to the Matriarchy, where subjectivity trump objectivity.
You mean Steve Con Jobs?
@@thequake180 at least he didn't take people's lives like this psychopath
@@rationalistfaith he's her idol
"What kind of nine year old writes a letter like that" ONLY nine year olds write such things.
The glow and beam on her face to hear her ill informed praises being sung is genuinely revolting.
I think that hifalutin letter was manufactured for one of her stock stories. She didn’t write that at 9.
@@PungiFungi this crossed my mind too. Like I said repugnant, unconscionable as all get out.
literally every kid and parent does the same thing
lets not kid ourself or feel revolt, you will do the same too
The guy at the very end looks so unimpressed. He was onto her 😂
