After working at Theranos Inc. for eight months, Tyler Shultz decided he had seen enough. On April 11, 2014, he emailed company founder Elizabeth Holmes to complain that Theranos had doctored research and ignored failed quality-control checks.

The reply was withering. Ms. Holmes forwarded the email to Theranos President Sunny Balwani, who belittled Mr. Shultz’s grasp of basic mathematics and his knowledge of laboratory science, and then took a swipe at his relationship with George Shultz, the former secretary of state and a Theranos director.

“The only reason I have taken so much time away from work to address this personally is because you are Mr. Shultz’s grandson,” wrote Mr. Balwani to his employee in an email, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

This is quite a story, something that should be shared more often. It took guts to do what he did and basically I believe that Holmes should be dragged out of whatever hole she's hiding in and basically charged and put on trial.

I’m sure it is quite a story, but unfortunately it is behind a paywall.

"....and that's when my researchers told me if I wear a black turtleneck and drive a leased silver mercedes often enough, I can actually BECOME Steve Jobs..! I'm listening to Bob Dylan records, I'm parking in the on-campus handicapped parking and it is PAYING OFF..! Just yesterday I got onto an elevator, and you know what? EVERYONE inside RAN OUT..! You know what THAT means..? All my stupid ideas WILL ALL turn into lucrative products and people will excuse my screaming at employees as entrepreneurial GENIUS..!"

I was disgusted by her since seeing her smug Steve Jobs “too cool for school” face. I now know why.

It’s only going to get worse once more comes out. Those intimidation tactics certainly are grounds enough for a massive civil suit, to say the least about a criminal charge. I wonder if the prosecutor is going to enjoy going after her smug arse.

She’s a TOTAL fraud.

Another Hillary conceptual stand in.

There are HUNDREDS of such losers out there.

Too bad Hillary’s pulling the plug on them now, especially since they thought they were so special.

> Theranos President Sunny Balwani, who belittled Mr. Shultz’s grasp of basic mathematics and his knowledge of laboratory science...

Ignorant yet condescending. There’s a lot of that going around these days.
