I will share my very small Elizabeth Holmes story (btw the movie is amazing, 10/10, go see it). I used to work at the Goldwater Institute, a libertarian/center-right think tank in AZ. When Arizona passed the Theranos bill under Gov @DougDucey, Elizabeth came to AZ for the signing and also met with the CEO of the Goldwater Institute. Her team came to our office the day before and did a full security sweep. On the day of the meeting, her team had a security guard stationed at every building exit and had an armored car waiting outside the building, engine running. She walked in wearing her black turtleneck sweater and carrying a black birkin. It was probably a hundred degrees in Arizona that day and for someone who doesn't care about money, using a 10k bag as your work tote seems off-brand? The Goldwater Institute was known for having billionaire donors and prominent elected officials visit. I had never seen anything like this. I remember thinking it was very odd that she had so much security and was so paranoid. A few months later, I went to one of the Walgreens locations in Arizona and ordered a blood test. I was excited to use the new technology; I have always gotten anxious having bloodwork done. The theranos machine was nowhere to be seen and when I asked they said that the tests I ordered required a standard butterfly needle.
