For the first time, this godless grifter, who literally put people in danger, admitted her device was only able to complete 12 types of blood tests, not 200, as advertised. She also admitted her company used the same machines she tried to put out of business to perform the actual tests.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Holmes, people were given incorrect medical testing results. <em>Can you imagine?<\/em> And while knowing this, Holmes, with the invaluable help of the corrupt establishment media, kept the grift alive for years, kept it going until her fraud of a company was valued at $9 billion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>None of this, however, would have been possible had an unquestioning media not fawned all over her with glowing interviews and magazine covers. The most ingenious part of her con was playing a character the corporate media would fall in love with and want to turn into a heroine. Holmes presented herself as a woman breaking into the male-dominated Silicon Valley: a left-leaning, attractive, thin, blonde vegan who wore the identical black turtlenecks favored by Steve Jobs.<\/p>\n<p>And fawn the media did. Without ever investigating her claims, they fawned and fawned and fawned, frequently in lengthy profiles that only <em>sometimes<\/em> quoted her critics but then quoted her extensive denials and went right on fawning.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few examples\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/tech\/2014\/07\/08\/change-agents-elizabeth-holmes-theranos-blood-testing-revolution\/12183437\/\">USA Today<\/a><\/em> (July 2014): \u201cChange Agents: Elizabeth Holmes wants your blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Elizabeth Holmes is tall, smart and single.

Only she\u2019s not kidding.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of this breakthrough to Theranos could be riches; Holmes, who owns more than 50% of the stock in her company, has raised $400 million for a current valuation of $9 billion. But while Holmes is a billionaire on paper, nothing seems to interest her less.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re successful if person by person we help make a difference in their lives,\u201d says Holmes, who dresses exclusively in black and has a soft yet commanding voice that makes a listener lean in as if waiting for marching orders.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2014\/12\/15\/blood-simpler\">New Yorker<\/a> <\/em>(December 2014): \u201cBlood, Simpler \u2014 <em>One woman\u2019s drive to upend medical testing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The day after her TEDMED talk, I met with Holmes in a conference room at the Theranos headquarters, a single-story building two blocks from the Stanford campus. (In November, Theranos moved its main offices to a larger space a few miles away.) Her home is a two-bedroom condo in Palo Alto, and she lives an austere life. Although she can quote Jane Austen by heart, she no longer devotes time to novels or friends, doesn\u2019t date, doesn\u2019t own a television, and hasn\u2019t taken a vacation in ten years. Her refrigerator is all but empty, as she eats most of her meals at the office. She is a vegan, and several times a day she drinks a pulverized concoction of cucumber, parsley, kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, and celery.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The plane had reached cruising altitude, far above a bank of clouds, and another green vegetable drink had materialized in her hand. \u201cI have done something, and we have done something, that has changed people\u2019s lives,\u201d she told me. \u201cI would much rather live a life of purpose than one in which I might have other things but not that.\u201d Also, she said, with a smile, \u201cI think I\u2019m very young.

How many everyday people believed the media and were swindled out of money they couldn\u2019t afford to lose?<\/p>\n<p>Holmes knew exactly what she was doing. She understood the role she had to play in order to become an establishment media princess.
