Question:
In the Module 5.6 Video Lecture, we discussed Silicon Valley startup Theranos. discuss and debate the motivations of a person charged with a fraud. Was Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and former CEO of Theranos, an amazing visionary who was going to change the world of medicine through its disruptive blood-testing technology and who due to her passion and blind commitment to improving healthcare got unknowingly caught up in a massive fraud? Or was she just an extremely skilled and persuasive fraudster who cunningly deceived investors, board members, patients, customers, and regulators from the beginning, knowing that her allegedly innovative blood-testing technology was never anything more than a deception? Fully support which position you take. read the three articles about Ms. Holmes and Theranos ("This CEO is Out for Blood", "How Theranos Misled Me", and "Elizabeth Holmes' Downfall Has Been Explained DeeplyBy Men") Conduct and cite additional research as necessary?
