With the glorification of the "fake it 'til you make it" mantra in Silicon Valley, was it really any surprise that one Elizabeth Anne Holmes thought she could smokescreen her way into becoming the most celebrated medical technology inventor of the decade or even century? And it would have worked too, if it wasn't for the meddling reporter John Carreyrou.
At the height of her glory, she was the most celebrated woman in tech and was already being compared to Steve Jobs. A few weeks ago, she was found guilty on a bunch of charges related to her time as CEO of the overpromising, underdelivering and fraudulent Theranos.
Join Bibi and Sibel in another hilarious episode complete with breathless laughter and ridiculous banter.
