LOol wtf, she just talks about nothing

[walden]

She said "We make chemistry" LOL What is that? Do they make physics too?

[Kaymeron]

When someone answers a simple yes or no question starting with "there's multiple parts to this...", you know they are lying.

[michaelpocius]

Ever notice how when people lie they make everything sound so complex

[anonymous..-]

Blood test from a prick, that part is true.

1:36 So fun when the interviewer talks back to her: _By the way, it’s not just me that was focused on the one test, that was sort of the story, the Theranos’ story..._

[EyeMixMusic]

This scam would have fallen apart if, at any point, someone had said "show us how it works" and waited for an answer. Take a moment to think about how many mega rich financial backers, top level journalists or hired staff at Theranos never did that. It blows the mind.

[treismoires]

She is using corporate jargon with an immense ability.

[dattarajgim]

my head is spinning...something like this


Interviewer : What is your name"?


EH: well, you see, i was born to my parents who happened to have met 25 years ago and fell in love at first sight. After seeing each other for 2 years they got married. After a few years i was born. And then my brother was born. His name is Christian. But then whats in a name? And so i decided to make a real name for myself by becoming a billionaire

[TheVonzink]

What bothers me most about what she did was the bullying of her ex employees for exposing that her company was a complete lie. She needs major jail time. Her idiotic boyfriend partner needs jail time as well.

[xushengjie]

all empty talks only, I too can say I invented the time machine, that will be a breakthrough

[VB-bbjt]

For those of you interested in this story I encourage you to read: Bad Blood by John Carreyrou great in depth analysis n how this massive and dangerous fraud came to pass. This saga is being development into a movie in which Jennifer Lawrence will play Elizabeth Holmes

NanoTainers are so Small they can fit right into Hot Air!

[MeiYingLim]

I liked the video because she excelled at a skill - bullshitting. Her answers are always the same and alot of filler words with no actual science explanation. "We have made it possible..." "over the course" "comprehensive"

[gladystoukie]

This woman has no credentials at all in biomedical research, incredible that all these sophisticated rich people and corporations gave her that much money!!! Imagine how much that same amount of money would help the cancer researchers at M.D Anderson hospital and Sloan Kettering

[toddlavigne]

The difference between Holmes and Jobs was, he had a product that worked.

[catbriggs]

I love the way she pulled the "nanotainer" out of her pocket. Just like magician. That's what a professional magician does: Misdirect.

[socalsp]

the one test they are able to do from pin prick is probably glucose testing then?

[DataWaveTaGo]

Her body language shows she wants to hide.

[GrogDC]

This is truly the definition of "triple speak."
