Journal   In 2014  Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve
Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the
medical industry with its breakthrough device  which performed the whole range of laboratory
tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper 
Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion 
putting Holmes's worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology
didn't work. Erroneous results put patients in danger  leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary
treatments. All the while  Holmes and her partner  Sunny Balwani  worked to silence anyone who
voiced misgivings-from journalists to their own employees.   Rigorously reported and fearlessly
written  Bad Blood is a gripping story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron-a tale of
ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.
