Bad Blood
John Carreyrou, 2018
The reporter who broke the Theranos story reconstructs how a blood-testing startup sold a miracle it couldn’t deliver.
John Carreyrou
The book grew out of Carreyrou’s Wall Street Journal investigation, which Theranos fought in court and in the press.
Feels like ambition.
Where the line between startup optimism and outright fraud gets crossed.
Mosley was stunned. He thought the results were extracted in real time from the blood inside the cartridge. That was certainly what the investors he brought by were led to believe. What Shaunak had just described sounded like a sham. It was OK to be optimistic and aspirational when you pitched investors, but there was a line not to cross. And this, in Mosley’s view, crossed it.
