John Carreyrou is a member of the Wall Street Journal’s investigative reporting team. He joined the Journal in 1999 and has been based in Brussels, Paris, and New York for the paper, winning two Pulitzer prizes.
John has covered a number of topics during his career, ranging from Islamist terrorism when he was on assignment in Europe to the pharmaceutical industry and the U.S. healthcare system. His reporting on corruption in the field of spine surgery led to long prison terms for a California hospital owner and a Michigan neurosurgeon. His reporting on Theranos, a blood-testing startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes, was recognized with a George Polk award, and is chronicled in his book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in Silicon Valley.
Born in New York and raised in Paris, he currently resides in Brooklyn with his wife and three children.
For the dozens of Indians Theranos employed, the fear of being fired was more than just the dread of losing a paycheck. Most were on H-1B visas and dependent on their continued employment at the company to remain in the country. With a despotic boss like Sunny holding their fates in his hands, it was akin to indentured servitude. (查看原文)

I still remembered searching WIPO for Theranos's patents and FDA establishment registration back in 2015, and was disappointed to find that there's little evidence that this company was worth 9 billion. I've been since following the Theranos's downfall, whi...

可读性挺高的的一部纪实文学 结局峰回路转很有戏剧性 很难想象骗了十多年九亿美金发生在美国这么透明的资本环境下 中国的dd不太可能会过这种不透露数据的项目吧 也可能是中国律师水平不行无法成为保护伞呢？

3.5 今年三月才看，算是延迟延迟了吧，这类非虚构看得很少，读下来挺畅快的。fake it until u make it的关键是找到那条隐形的底线在哪儿吧。
