From the Slope of Hope: I have made no secret of my disdain for Theranos and Elizabeth "Crazy Eyes" Holmes by way of these six past posts. While driving through town, I passed by the gorgeous and expensive Theranos building, and I decided to swing into the parking lot. I was curious, because the one and only other time I had been there, it was totally empty, which I found bizarre for a weekday. But I swung into again and............
Yep. Not a soul. I tweeted out the photo with the caption, "Thought I would check out the Theranos parking lot to see how they were doing......you can draw your own conclusions."
I got a zillion Likes and Retweets, but one in particular made my day.............
Mr. Carreyrou is the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who exposed Theranos to the world. When the company was still in a state of utter self-deception, there was a huge company-wide meeting, with Crazy Eyes at the front, and the whole company chanting "Fuck Carreyrou! Fuck Carreyrou!" as Holmes beamed.
Karma"s a funny thing, ain"t it? Anyway, I"m honored Mr. Carreyrou saw my little tweet, and I hope to sit down and chat with him someday.If we do, I"ll be sure to write about it, with his permission.
