An amazing story of rank incompetence and no business model on ethics.
This girl is too intelligent to be so dangerously stupid. Every conclusion about the failures of this company lead right back to her control over the conditions and causes of the failures.
I THINK a huge part of her psychosis is having her ‘vision’ verified on a constant basis. She wants to drop out, she drops out. She wants to basically start up a company that is a health based startup (despite not having a background in medicine and of course, being a dropout), her family and family friends back her up. She started getting a TON of praise and her other psychotic antics, like grafting Steve Jobs’ personality traits and way of dress onto herself and basically reworked her entire sense of self, only to have it reinforced by everyone around her.
I would say she’s a highly intelligent psychopath with her delusions reinforced around her all the time.
It's also an amazing story of journalism at it's best. If the rest of the American media covered the Obama administration and the Clinton Foundation the way the Journal covered Theranos than the media wouldn't be facing the crisis they currently face.
