Bad Blood Full Chapter Book SummaryMore Content On Bookey Best Book Summary App. For nearly a ten billion dollar fraud, what meticulous planning is required? How did a school dropout with no medical background deceive the medical technology establishment and even political giants? In “Bad Blood”, the author, John Carreyrou, uses a calm and objective style of writing to reveal the shocking fraudulent activity at the heart of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes' company. In his research for the book, Carreyrou interviewed over 150 people, including sixty former employees. He drew upon the comprehensive background detail they provided to uncover the truth. Carreyrou tears apart the legendary company that built on lies. He reveals to the reader how the fraud was executed. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup. Before we begin, let us try to imagine a particular type of product, a portable medical “magic box”. It can be kept at home, produce a diagnosis, and suggest a treatment plan. Whenever you feel physically unwell, all you need to do is to open this magic box, use the needle on top to prick your finger, let a drop of blood fall into the box, and this magic box will provide over two hundred professional test results. With this device, not only would you be able to track your physical condition instantaneously, the data from the blood test would be transmitted online to your doctor. They can then send over more comprehensive consultation notes and advise on your medication going forward. With such a magic box, you would be able to accomplish the entire process of a doctor's consultation without stepping out of your door. Is this a product you would hope to own? This is not a fantasy. Once upon a time, someone from Silicon Valley created such a product. The entrepreneur was a passionate follower of Steve Jobs. Like Jobs, had believed that “the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” For this revolutionary dream, this individual dropped out of Stanford University, gathered a group of like-minded talents, and created a company that sold medical apparatus. Soon it was estimated to be worth $9 billion USD. This person, who founded a company they called Theranos, was none other than Elizabeth Holmes. It was she who came up with this captivating idea and proceeded to use an irresistibly charming manner to rake in investment. She attracted business world legends, such as the Oracle founder Larry Ellison, to be her shareholders. She was even successful in persuading military and political leaders, like former U.S. Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, and former Defense Minister William Perry, to join the Board of Directors. These significant figures provided a shield for the company. Their credibility helped her company's value ascend in the market, such that, at one point, it was the most successful Silicon Valley start-up. At the helm of Theranos, Holmes dreamt of becoming a hero destined to save humanity. Yet ultimately, the dream melted as everyone found out that the magic product was just an illusion Holmes had created. The bubble was burst when everyone shockingly realized that the Theranos company Holmes' had created was the biggest medical fraud in history.
Elizabeth Holmes, former CEO and founder of Theranos, was convicted and sentenced for fraud in late 2022. Bad Blood is a story of innovation, narcissism, denial, leadership, self-delusion, and a quest for truth. In 2023, JoyGenea and Michelle will be reading more and sharing their conversations and thoughts on If These Heels. Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Start-Up by John Carreyrou is our first installation. https://youtu.be/seGGVu5wvf0

Week of 1/8/23 at the Library - True Crime Time - 'Bad Blood' | Hosts Dylan Posa and Barb Leitschuh go over upcoming events, talk about the True Crime Time group on Goodreads, and lastly, return to 'Barb the Bookie' to recommend 'Bad Blood' by John Carreyrou.
Over the years we have explored a wide range of books on Saturdays. Sometimes our re-reads reflect the real world outside software development. For example, in 2018 we re-read Bad Blood, Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou, the story of Theranos and Elizabeth Anne Holmes. This year Ms. Holmes went to prison. While I don't expect prison sentences for the subjects in the books we read in 2022, I expect the knowledge in the books we tackled to have a broader impact on the world. In the past year, we have re-read 3.4 books – 40% is the progress on the current book according to Kindle. Links to all of the read entries can be found in the show notes. I am looking forward to reading and learning with all of you in 2023. This week we also have a visit from Susan Parente and her Not A Scrumdamentalist column. Susan and I discussed how a newly minted Scrum Master can get up to speed quickly. A quick advertisement: Controlling work entry requires preparation and knowledge, building to establishing a path to control work entry (magic wands are normally not available), which is why Jeremy Willets and I have developed a work entry workshop. Interested? Please email us at tcagley@tomcagley.com or willetsjm@gmail.com Next SPaMCAST Every year I host a panel discussion with the columnists and other SPaMcast contributors. We will cap 2022 with a spirited discussion on the importance of engagement. Is it all that its cracked up to be or not?

Hiya, friend,Thank you for joining me for Running Scared with Coach Christine.If you are a runner and a true crime enthusiast, you have found your corner of the internet, friend! Elizabeth Holmes captured and captivated investors and politicians and was seen as a visionary who would revolutionize the medical world. Well, friend, if it sounds too good to be true, it's likely because it is. This true crime case is the Runner's Digest of the con job that could have potentially caused inappropriate treatment, severe illnesses, and death. So don't get swayed into thinking that just because this is a "white collar" crime, it was victimless. Elizabeth had many victims, and how many we likely will never fully know. Want to learn more? Check out ABC News podcast, The Dropout, or check out the HBO Documentary Film The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley if you are looking for the companion book, you can find Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, which was written by The Wall Street Journal, journalist, John Carreyrou that broke the story. This is also a quick reminder to support independent and investigative journalism as they act as important checks and balances to folks in places of great power.

Theranos, ra đời năm 2003, là startup công nghệ y học, tuyên bố đã xây dựng được 1 công nghệ thử máu mang tính cách mạng, chỉ đòi hỏi lượng máu rất ít với chi phí thấp hơn rất nhiều so với các công nghệ hiện tại. Theranos được ca ngợi là bước đột phá trong thị trường công nghệ thử máu, thu hút được nhiều nhà đầu tư, và trở thành một công ty được định giá lên tới 10 tỉ đô-la. Elizabeth Holmes, nhà sáng lập trẻ tuổi, được ví là Steve Jobs của nữ giới và có mặt trong danh sách 100 người có ảnh hưởng nhất thế giới của Time.Tuy nhiên, trên thực tế, công nghệ này không hoạt động. Sau một thời gian điều tra, phóng viên John Carreyrou của The Wall Street Journal đã phơi bày trò lừa đảo ngoạn mục này. Những phát hiện của ông đã khiến cả thế giới kinh doanh và công nghệ phải sửng sốt. Cuốn sách kể lại quá trình điều tra của Carreyrou trong vụ lừa đảo gây xôn xao dư luận này. Đây là câu chuyện kể về tham vọng, sự ngạo mạn đằng sau những tuyên ngôn táo bạo của Thung lũng Silicon.--Về Fonos:Fonos là ứng dụng sách nói có bản quyền.

Episode SummaryJohn Carreyrou literally wrote the book on Theranos – the bestseller “Bad Blood,” which built on his earlier writing at the WSJ that broke the story. With Elizabeth Holmes scheduled to be sentenced this week, I sat down with John to get the inside scoop on how he uncovered the Theranos fraud, his take on Holmes, what went wrong and why, and what her sentence is likely to be.Sydney Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.John CarreyrouJohn Carreyrou is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup. In his reporting for The Wall Street Journal, he was the first to break the scandal surrounding the failed biomedical startup Theranos and the disturbing lies of its wunderkind founder, Stanford dropout Elizabeth Holmes. A compelling speaker, Carreyrou discusses the ethical lapses, the credulous media coverage, and the lax oversight that allowed Theranos to achieve a “unicorn” valuation of $9 billion and shares with audiences the lessons that can be learned from its fall.Bad Blood was also named the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year. The HBO documentary based on the Theranos story, The Inventor, was directed by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney and premiered at Sundance. A graduate of Duke University, Carreyrou lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and three children.Insights from this episode: Details about John's bookTheranos scandal and how John discovered itThe intimidation, threats, and stonewalling John experienced when covering the scandalDetails about Elizabeth Holmes's trialConfidential informants being stalked during the trialWhat Elizabeth Holmes did wrong and how she was able to build credibilityQuotes from the show:“I had done a lot of reporting about health care medicine by then and enough to know that that's not usually how things happen (Theranos scandal). Usually, people who make advances in medical fields are trained and then do decades of research before they add value” —John Carreyrou [9:14]“It wasn't until late April/May of 2015 that I began approaching the company and letting them know that I was doing a story and could they answer these questions. At that point they tried to stonewall me, they gave me the silent treatment for about a month, but then I think it dawned on them that I wasn't going away” —John Carreyrou [20:21]“They knew that those three employees (Adam Rosendorff, Tyler Shultz, and Erika Cheung) had left with objections and raising doubts, and their suspicions immediately gravitated toward them” —John Carreyrou [24:39]“That's what you call affinity fraud. You surround yourself with people who have a lot of credibility and prestigious names, and you borrow their credibility. That is very much what took place. In this case, Elizabeth was able to do that” —John Carreyrou [40:23]“She was convicted of defrauding investors. To me, that isn't the worst part of the scandal. What I consider to be the worst part is the fact she went live with a medical product that didn't work. She had a machine called the Edison, it was very limited and its capabilities could only do a handful of blood tests, and it didn't perform it accurately” —John Carreyrou [29:23]“To me, her biggest crime is that she knowingly commercialized a medical product that she knew was deficient, that she knew was flawed, that she knew didn't work. She put patients in harm's way, she endangered the public health” —John Carreyrou [30:30]“[About cutting corners] Elizabeth Holmes is someone who was well aware of this history, of this lure. She knew that people like Larry Ellison and Steve Jobs had cut corners earlier in their careers and she felt entitled to do the same” —John Carreyrou [33:21]“The Theranos scandal is a reminder that fine, bring your new ideas and your money to the problems in healthcare but, you got to remember it's not the same world as software and that the stakes are much higher. If you don't bear that in mind then what happened to Elizabeth Holmes will happen to you” —John Carreyrou [37:07]Stay connected:Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastJohn CarreyrouLinkedIn: John Carreyrou Twitter: John CarreyrouSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

La verdadera épica contemporánea parece llevar el nombre de quienes, hasta hace casi poco, fueron unos jóvenes emprendedores en Silicon Valley: Jeff, Mark, Steve, Elon, Larry, etc…Son los representantes de un nuevo espíritu global que ahora maneja los hilos de nuestro comportamiento, y son los principales diseñadores de nuestra realidad: cómo empleamos el tiempo y cómo nos movemos por el espacio, qué tipo de relaciones establecemos, con quienes nos vinculamos, cómo se distribuye el deseo, y cómo adoptamos hábitos. Dos de los libros que se han sumergido profundamente en el mar de los startups con mayor agudeza son Disrupción: Mi desventura en la burbuja de las startups, de Dan Lyons, y Mala sangre: secretos y mentiras en una startup de John Carreyrou.Ingresa a prueba.scribd.com/escuchapodcast en donde encontrarás un código de promoción para acceder a Scribd durante 60 días por solo $19 MXN.Encuentra los títulos mencionados en este episodio como audiolibros en exclusiva a través de Scribd:Disrupción: Mi desventura en la burbuja de las startups, de Dan Lyonshttps://es.scribd.com/book/545820840/Disrupcion-Mi-desventura-en-la-burbuja-de-las-startupsMala sangre: secretos y mentiras en una startuphttps://es.scribd.com/audiobook/469954025/Mala-sangre-Secretos-y-mentiras-en-una-startup-de-Silicon-ValleyConducción y guión: Elvira Liceaga Producción: Paco de Pablo y Mitzi Natalia HernándezProducción Ejecutiva: Javier AcevesMontaje y Diseño Sonoro: Alex de WinterSupervisión de Producción: Israel “Peez” PérezBusiness Development: Jimena Castro
We have brought her up before...Elizabeth Holmes...and we have a lot to say about:TheranosFor those who don't know, Theranos was a billion dollar company with a mission to make blood testing accessible to all using...get this...only a few drops of blood from your finger tip. Sounds super cool and legit! WRONG! It was all a scam. Theranos never truly had a machine that worked, not even a little. (Okay...they supposedly could test a rare strain of herpes, but did they?) This went on for over a decade. Elizabeth Holmes could have been an incredible leader and role model for women and girls everywhere. Instead, she mislead investors, employees, and the worst part...patients...that she was changing the world.It's a dumpster fire of medical fraud!Listen as we point out the parallels to Fyre Festival, cults, narcissism, and toxic environments. It is all there.Here are the sources used:The Dropout Podcast: https://abcaudio.com/podcasts/the-dropout/The Dropout Hulu series: https://www.hulu.com/series/the-dropout-13988f84-f1c8-40dd-a73c-4e71ab4bbe63The Wall Street Journal article by John Carreyrou: https://www.wsj.com/articles/theranos-has-struggled-with-blood-tests-1444881901Bad Blood by John Carreyrou: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/549478/bad-blood-by-john-carreyrou/American Greed (Season 15 Ep 2): https://www.cnbc.com/live-tv/american-greed/full-episode/theranos-ceo-on-trial/1992069187839Elizabeth Holmes (Wikepedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Holmes Please leave us a review and let us know what you love.

Raj Verma is the CEO at SingleStore, a database management system that helps modern applications be fast, frictionless, and flexible. When Raj started at SingleStore, he was Co-CEO with SingleStore's founder, Nikita Shamgunov.

Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America by Mark Follman "An urgent read that illuminates real possibility for change.” —John Carreyrou, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Blood For the first time, a story about the specialized teams of forensic psychologists, FBI agents, and other experts who are successfully stopping mass shootings—a hopeful, myth-busting narrative built on new details of infamous attacks, never-before-told accounts from perpetrators and survivors, and real-time immersion in confidential threat cases, casting a whole new light on how to solve a grievous problem It's time to go beyond all the thoughts and prayers, misguided blame on mental illness, and dug-in disputes over the Second Amendment. Through meticulous reporting and panoramic storytelling, award-winning journalist Mark Follman chronicles the decades-long search for identifiable profiles of mass shooters and brings readers inside a groundbreaking method for preventing devastating attacks. The emerging field of behavioral threat assessment, with its synergy of mental health and law enforcement expertise, focuses on circumstances and behaviors leading up to planned acts of violence—warning signs that offer a chance for constructive intervention before it's too late. Beginning with the pioneering study in the late 1970s of "criminally insane" assassins and the stalking behaviors discovered after the murder of John Lennon and the shooting of Ronald Reagan in the early 1980s, Follman traces how the field of behavioral threat assessment first grew out of Secret Service investigations and FBI serial-killer hunting. Soon to be revolutionized after the tragedies at Columbine and Virginia Tech, and expanded further after Sandy Hook and Parkland, the method is used increasingly today to thwart attacks brewing within American communities. As Follman examines threat-assessment work throughout the country, he goes inside the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit and immerses in an Oregon school district's innovative violence-prevention program, the first such comprehensive system to prioritize helping kids and avoid relying on punitive measures. With its focus squarely on progress, the story delves into consequential tragedies and others averted, revealing the dangers of cultural misunderstanding and media sensationalism along the way. Ultimately, Follman shows how the nation could adopt the techniques of behavioral threat assessment more broadly, with powerful potential to save lives. Eight years in the making, Trigger Points illuminates a way forward at a time when the failure to prevent mass shootings has never been more costly—and the prospects for stopping them never more promising.

The shocking, definitive account of the lawyers and media tycoons who enabled the rise of Donald Trump, featuring new revelations from a Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal team With his blunt-force fame and the myths he's propagated about himself, Donald Trump has always moved in a world of gossip barons, crooked lawyers, and porn stars. But when he became the Republican nominee for the presidency in 2016, all of these characters crawled out from the underbelly of Trump's stardom and stumbled onto the global stage with him. In The Fixers, Joe Palazzolo and Michael Rothfeld have produced a deeply reported and exquisitely drawn portrait of that world, full of secret phone calls, hidden texts, and desperate deals, unearthing the practice of “catch and kill” by which Trump surrogates paid hush money to cover up his affairs, and detailing Trump's historic relationship with his fixers—from his early, influential relationship with Roy Cohn to his reliance on Michael Cohen, National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. It traces the arc of their interactions from the 1970s through the 2016 campaign and beyond. It is a distinctly American saga that navigates the worlds of reality TV, cash-for-trash tabloids, single-shingle law shops, celebrity bashes, high-end real estate, pornography, and politics. The characters and settings of this book are part of a vulgar circus that crisscrosses the country, from New York to L.A. to D.C. Terrifying, darkly comic, and compulsively readable, The Fixers is an epic political adventure in which greed, corruption, lust, and ambition collide, and that leads, ultimately, to the White House. Advance praise for The Fixers “Of the dozens of books chronicling Donald Trump's presidency, The Fixers is destined to sit atop the pile. It has everything you look for in a political page-turner: Colorful characters, intrigue, sex, corruption and—unlike much of the Trump canon—meticulous, factual reporting by two ace reporters. What a read!”—John Carreyrou, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Blood
This episode features an interview with Simon Clark, a reporter at The Wall Street Journal and the co-author of The Key Man — the summer's must-read book about Arif Naqvi and the downfall of The Abraaj Group.Most listeners and followers of Portico will be familiar with the background of the Abraaj story. But if you're not, I'd recommend that you go back and listen to Episode 8.But even more, I'd recommend you purchase a copy of The Key Man for yourself (USA, UK). It's an absolutely riveting book; it has the pace of John Carreyrou's Bad Blood, but with an unbelievable cast of credulous characters who fell for a fantasy. In today's conversation, Simon and I discuss:The origins of Abraaj, some of its early transactions, and the oft-asked question: where did they get their money?Abraaj's acquisition of Aureos and how it unlocked the firm's ability to scale.The manufacture of social capital — the people and firms who testified to the greatness of Arif and Abraaj, seemingly without conducting an ounce of due diligence.The Karachi Electric deal.The $6B mega-fund.The promise of impact investing.The necessity of greater transparency in private equity.And much more.I had four pages of questions for Simon, so we clearly didn't get to everything on my list — and candidly some of the unasked questions may be better over a pint.But do yourself a favor and grab a copy of the book.I hope you enjoy the conversation.This podcast was recorded in July 2021.Buy The Key Man | USA | UKFollow Simon on Twitter.

Get Anne Stuart's truly eye-widening Tangled Lies at your local library or via a used bookseller near you. We recommend checking Amazon, eBay & Thrift Books. Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful!Show NotesIf you'd like to order signed copies of The Soulmate Equation, check out Vroman's Bookstore or the other book shops on CLo's virtual book tour. Tonight, 5/19/2021, Christina and Lauren are celebrating the launch of The Soulmate Equation with Sarah, Xio Axelrod, and Rachel Epstein. If you want to dive into the Theranos story, Lo recommends the book Bad Blood by John Carreyrou, and the New York Times has a list of recommended things to read and watch. 23 & Me and other DNA Ancestry tests can tell you some things: whether or not you think cilantro tastes like soap, and about the size of our hair follicles, but as of right now, science can't tell you much about your fated mate, I mean soulmate.Questions about the future of technology and how it intersects with humanity make for great television in shows like Black Mirror, The One, and Casual.I don't know, maybe you've heard about there being a fundamental incompatibility between science and religion, but others are pretty sure we can work it out.If you're not a sportsball fan, Michael Jordan is a kind of a big deal. Aphrodisia was a short-lived Kensington imprint that focused on erotica and erotic romance, it ran from 2006 to 2014. Jen asked if it was Ellora's Cave, which was another powerhouse erotic romance publisher that shuttered in 2014. A satyr is a magical creature from Greek mythology, so we're not sure if they 1) have two dicks and 2) if they are covered in soft fur. You're going to have to use your own imagination.We all hope that Nicholas the satyr is a little sexier that Mr. Tumnus from the movie version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.Slate had a woman asking for advice about her pandemic threesome with two brothers, and you can tell a romance reader didn't write that advice, because probably they could work that out. Jen alerted Jenny Nordbak immediately, of course. Are you also looking for monster fucking romances? If you need a quick review on alpha traits, listen to our episode from season two.Knotting isn't just for A/B/O, it's also in romance. Same with mPreg romances and DP (which no one has made a list of!), in case you need a primer. Lo is looking for a romance that she thinks is called Passionate Ink about an octopus shifter tattoo artist...Maybe? Christina wants your favorite mPreg romance recommendation. We'll also take marriage of convenience recs and secret scar recs if you're in the mood.More about the word "quim" and how it was used in that Avengers movie. Next up, Tangled Lies by Anne Stuart. Buy it used because it's not avaible as an eBook.
