Het blijft een terugkerend thema in de cryptowereld: de vraag wie er achter Bitcoin schuilgaat. Dit keer wijzen de makers van de documentaire Finding Satoshi naar programmeurs Hal Finney en Len Sassaman als de mogelijke bedenkers van het protocol. Deze twee namen worden vaak genoemd als mogelijke kandidaten, maar de theorie van een duo dat samen Bitcoin heeft ontwikkeld, was nog niet eerder zo sterk. Hal Finney was de programmeur van het stel, Len Sassaman schreef het whitepaper en was actief op het forum van Bitcointalk. Waar of niet: de documentaire geeft mooi inzicht in de begindagen van Bitcoin en de rol die Hal Finney, Len Sassaman en andere vroege betrokkenen gehad hebben. Het is niet de eerste poging om de identiteit van Satoshi Nakamoto te ontrafelen. Eerder wees journalist John Carreyrou nog naar Adam Back. Toch zorgen dit soort claims telkens opnieuw voor discussie, zeker wanneer ook prominente namen uit de industrie zich ermee bemoeien. Beide mannen zijn inmiddels overleden, wat het verifiëren van de claims lastig maakt. De vraag blijft daarmee of de waarheid ooit nog boven tafel komt, en of dat überhaupt noodzakelijk is voor het functioneren van Bitcoin. Ondertussen is er ook aandacht voor fraude op voorspellingsmarkten zoals Polymarket en Kalshi. Volgens Politico treden zowel de platforms zelf als justitie steeds vaker op tegen misbruik. Dat soort markten draaien op het inzetten van geld op toekomstige gebeurtenissen, maar blijken ook gevoelig voor manipulatie en voorkennis. Zo kwam recent naar buiten dat een Amerikaanse soldaat geld verdiende door te wedden op een operatie waar hij zelf bij betrokken was. Zijn arrestatie wordt door Polymarket aangehaald als bewijs dat het systeem werkt, al blijft de vraag in hoeverre zelfregulatie voldoende is om dit soort praktijken te voorkomen. Daarnaast zien we dat de traditionele financiële wereld steeds nadrukkelijker aanwezig is in de cryptomarkt. De Bitcoin-ETF’s zijn opnieuw populair, met dagenlange instroom van nieuw kapitaal. Een opvallende nieuwkomer is Morgan Stanley, dat onlangs als eerste grote Amerikaanse bank een eigen spot Bitcoin-ETF lanceerde. Het product onderscheidt zich onder meer met een relatief lage fee van 0,14% en wist al in de eerste weken tientallen miljoenen dollars aan te trekken . Die instroom past in een bredere trend: institutionele partijen lijken Bitcoin steeds vaker te omarmen als onderdeel van hun portefeuille. Tegelijkertijd verandert dat ook het karakter van de markt. Waar crypto ooit werd gedomineerd door pioniers en particuliere beleggers, lijkt Wall Street steeds meer de toon te zetten. De vraag is wat dat betekent voor de toekomst van de sector, en of er nog ruimte blijft voor de oorspronkelijke dynamiek van de markt. Co-host is Bart Mol.

De identiteit van Satoshi Nakamoto is opnieuw onderwerp van discussie, nadat de New York Times op basis van onderzoek stelt dat cryptograaf Adam Back achter het pseudoniem zou zitten. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd door journalist John Carreyrou, die eerder een jaar lang heeft gewerkt aan het reconstrueren van de oorsprong van Bitcoin en de mensen die in de vroege fase betrokken waren. Adam Back zelf ontkent opnieuw dat hij Satoshi Nakamoto is. Volgens het onderzoek van Carreyrou wordt Adam Back genoemd op basis van zijn vroege betrokkenheid bij cryptografisch werk en zijn rol in de ontwikkeling van de infrastructuur waar Bitcoin op voortbouwt. Back zelf reageert via X en stelt expliciet dat hij niet Satoshi is. Tegelijkertijd is dit niet de eerste keer dat er met veel aandacht wordt gewezen naar een vermeende identiteit van Satoshi Nakamoto. De discussie keert regelmatig terug, vaak op basis van nieuwe analyses of speculatieve verbanden. Dat roept de vraag op waarom dit onderwerp zo blijft leven, en of we ooit definitief zullen weten wie achter het pseudoniem zit. Ook komt de vraag aan bod of die identiteit uiteindelijk van belang is voor de verdere ontwikkeling van Bitcoin. De Bitcoin-prijs kwam na de aankondiging van een wapenstilstand tussen Iran en de Verenigde Staten opnieuw boven de 70.000 dollar uit en liep daarna verder op. De vraag is waar dat vertrouwen in de markt vandaan komt en of het vooral samenhangt met geopolitieke ontwikkelingen of dat er ook andere factoren meespelen. Kunnen we al stellen dat de bodem van de bearmarket is bereikt? Tot slot gaat het over stablecoins. Volgens Chainalysis kan het transactievolume van stablecoins doorgroeien tot 719 biljoen dollar in 2035, met in een optimistisch scenario een stijging tot 1,5 biljard dollar. Die groei wordt deels verklaard door een verwachte verschuiving van vermogens tussen generaties en de rol die stablecoins daarin kunnen spelen. Tegelijkertijd roept dit vragen op over de impact op het traditionele financiële systeem en de mate waarin deze toepassingen daadwerkelijk decentraal zijn. In de Verenigde Staten loopt daarnaast een discussie over stablecoins en het wel of niet toestaan van yield, oftewel rente op stablecoins. Dit wordt besproken in het kader van de Clarity Act. Het Witte Huis heeft zich in deze discussie gemengd met een rapport over de gevolgen van een verbod op yield voor bankleningen. Daarmee lijkt de positie van de Amerikaanse overheid dichter bij de cryptosector te liggen, al blijft de vraag hoe deze discussie uiteindelijk zal worden beslecht en wat dit betekent voor verdere adoptie van stablecoins.

Meta relance la bataille de l'IA avec Muse Spark. OpenAI montre que ses garde-fous peuvent déclencher une alerte bien réelle. Le MacBook Neo secoue le marché. Le vrai créateur du Bitcoin possiblement découvert.Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)Meta dégaine Muse Spark (0:12)Nous revenons sur l'arrivée de Muse Spark, le nouveau moteur d'IA de Meta, pensé d'abord pour renforcer l'écosystème maison, de Meta AI à Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp et aux lunettes connectées. Plus compact et moins énergivore, il ne bouleverse pas encore les usages, mais il marque surtout le retour offensif de Meta dans la course à l'IA.Quand ChatGPT déclenche une alerte policière (6:21)Nous évoquons ce cas survenu en France, où des propos menaçants tenus à ChatGPT auraient déclenché une chaîne d'alerte impliquant OpenAI, le FBI puis la plateforme Pharos. L'affaire rappelle que les conversations avec les IA ne sont pas de simples échanges privés, mais aussi que certains dispositifs de sécurité peuvent fonctionner concrètement.MacBook Neo : Apple face à un problème industriel ? (8:40)Nous parlons du MacBook Neo, qui utiliserait des puces issues de la chaîne de production de l'iPhone, avec un cœur désactivé, une astuce industrielle aussi maligne qu'efficace. Mais si le succès commercial se confirme, cette mécanique pourrait se retourner contre Apple en compliquant l'approvisionnement et en pesant sur les coûts.Satoshi Nakamoto démasqué ? (18:40)L'enquête du journaliste John Carreyrou pour le New York Times affirme qu'un certain Adam Back est le créateur du Bitcoin. L'intéressé dément, comme d'autres avant lui, et le mystère reste entier, mais cette nouvelle piste montre que l'obsession autour de Satoshi Nakamoto continue de fasciner autant le monde techno que le monde médiatique.Cyber, numérique, digital... La bataille des mots (24:12)Nous terminons sur une discussion de vocabulaire entre la France et le Québec autour des mots “cyber”, “numérique” et “digital”.

Bitcoin's Satoshi drama heats up again as a major journalistic “reveal” drops, just as the crypto industry gets rocked by a quantum computing breakthrough that pulls up security timelines—and AI-powered exploits are suddenly real. We break down Satoshi theories, Blockstream PR whispers, the new quantum risk landscape, Ethereum vs. Bitcoin migration pain, and why your favorite protocols might not be ready for North Korea or superintelligent bug finders. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week we're joined by Justin Drake, Ethereum Foundation researcher and the internet's favorite quantum attack alarm bell ringer. Things get spicy immediately: the eternal guessing game “Who is Satoshi?” gets a new round of attention as John Carreyrou (yeah, Theranos guy) drops a supposed expose pointing his finger at none other than Blockstream's Adam Back.  The crew debates whether this Satoshi story is tired PR, inside baseball, or a genuine existential turning point for Bitcoin culture. Then things escalate: Justin walks us through Google and Atomic's quantum computing breakthrough—a real, validated step forward that potentially pulls the “Q-day” clock up to as soon as 2029. The implications? Bitcoin and Ethereum's security models are suddenly under the gun, and community denial is in full effect. Who's better poised to survive a quantum apocalypse… and is coin burning on the menu for Satoshi's stash? Later, we break down the Drift hack—North Korea's latest state-level heist, featuring IRL social engineering that sounds like Mr. Robot meets Oceans Eleven. Finally, it's an AI arms race: Anthropic's Mythos model is reportedly the most dangerous security researcher ever coded, and it's already quietly hardening corporate fortresses.  Panic? Prepare? Both? One thing's for sure—there are no do-overs on the blockchain, so let's get into it.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics' March CPI data revealed an annual inflation rate of 3.3%. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discusses the pressures on American consumers, including an Iran War-prompted energy price surge and DHS funding. NYT investigative journalist John Carreyrou spent years digging into the real identity of bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto and concluded that it is famed computer scientist, Adam Back. Adam Back, though he's made notable contributions to the foundations of bitcoin, denies the conclusion. Back makes his case directly–and explains why anonymity might be good for bitcoin. Plus, OpenAI has fired at Anthropic in a new memo to shareholders, Kevin Warsh's Fed nomination hearing was delayed, and a fake research paper fooled AI models.    Pete Buttigieg            15:09 Adam Back                  31:29 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Daily Snippet vom 10.04.2026 Fluch oder Segen? Wenn Adam Back Satoshi Nakamoto ist. Die Krypto-Welt steht Kopf. John Carreyrou, der Journalist hinter dem "Bad Blood" Theranos-Skandal, behauptet im neuesten NYT-Artikel: Adam Back ist Satoshi Nakamoto. Die Hardcore-Bitcoiner schreien sofort "Fake News", aber wenn man sich die Indizien rational ansieht, wird es eng. Back tauchte exakt ab, als Satoshi 2008 erschien. KI-Analysen seines Schreibstils zeigen verblüffende Ähnlichkeiten. Wegen Adam Backs mutmaßlicher Nähe zu Jeffrey Epstein wäre das ein PR-Albtraum für Bitcoin. ABER: Es gäbe einen gigantischen Vorteil!. Bitcoin hat ein massives Quantencomputer-Problem, weil 1,1 Millionen Satoshi-Coins schutzlos auf alten Public-Keys liegen. Wäre Adam Back wirklich Satoshi und hätte die Keys noch, könnte er diese Coins bewegen und Bitcoin vor dem Quanten-Hack retten! Meine komplette Analyse zu diesem Krimi und warum das C++ Coding der stärkste Gegenbeweis ist – heute im Daily Update Blog!

After getting laid off from his corporate job, Dan Shapiro launched his first startup, Photobucket Inc. (formerly Ontela), but faced nine months of rejection from investors and no funding. Despite these setbacks, his persistence led to a successful partnership, which later turned sour due to a managerial dispute. He took these lessons and went on to build multiple successful startups, including Glowforge, a $100M company revolutionizing 3D laser printing. In this episode, Dan joins Ilana to share the secrets to startup success, how to navigate entrepreneurial challenges, and what it takes to build a company that not only thrives but also transforms industries. Dan Shapiro is a serial entrepreneur, innovator, and CEO of Glowforge, a company that pioneered desktop laser technology, enabling creators to produce millions of custom products.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta blames Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for arranging a group of South American migrants to be transported from Texas to California and to be dropped off in Sacramento. The Hollywood Directors Guild has reached a deal with the studios as the writers' strike continues. According to John Carreyrou's book, "Bad Blood", Elizabtgher Holmes was obsessed with monitoring how many hours her employees were putting in and would order dinners for Theranos staff but made sure they weren't delivered until after 8 p.m. so they worked late.

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

We're BACK!!! We took a long holiday break but we are back and ready to talk books! :DJoin Rachel Hill and Liz Wilson  on Two Babes and a Book! Today we have some book banter about the book Bad Blood by John Carreyrou. This was such a riveting read and very timely since Elizabeth Holmes will soon be serving her prison sentence.Follow us on instagram @twobabesandabook. Make a comment there and tell us if you read this book. Make sure to leave us a review on the apple podcasts app, or any app that you listen to this podcast.

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?

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.

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.

Laëtitia, Céline et moi sommes très heureuses de vous retrouver pour ce 2ème épisode de ‘Places à prendre', notre espace de conversation qui explore la place des femmes, au sens très très large du terme. On va prendre toute la place, justement

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.

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

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?

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.
