Bad Blood No Longer a Silicon Valley Startup Scam Medical Company Achieves FDA Certification for Theranos Product

Theranos’ former creative director, Patrick O’Neill, exposed Holmes’ true face in Business Insider. Holmes expressed her desire to create a personal and corporate image similar to Apple and its founder, Steve Jobs. She deliberately cultivated an intellectual image, not only by wearing black turtlenecks, imitating Jobs’ signature attire, but also by intentionally lowering her voice to speak in a deep and serious tone, in order to project a mature and authoritative image. Holmes circulated in circles of politicians and business elites, receiving endorsements from media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. She even sat on equal footing with former US President Bill Clinton and Microsoft founder Bill Gates in tech forums. Young, intelligent, and attractive, she instantly became the focus of media attention and even graced the cover of Forbes magazine.
