Bad blood: The Final Chapter looks into a perfect example of fake-it-till-you-make-it. After breaking the story of Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes, John Carreyrou comes back with this podcast, updating Holmes’ state of affairs and how the trial against her is going.

Here’s a quick summary, in case you don’t know the story: Holmes founded Theranos, a company that promised to revolutionize blood sampling, making it not only cheaper but also an easier procedure for those who needed a check. As a result, she became a billionaire, but not for long.

Soon after, a big scandal about the tests being fake erupted and Holmes lost it all, not only her credibility, her company and her money, but also her freedom.

About the pod: First, Carreyrou examines Holmes’ story and the Theranos scandal, which led to Holmes facing charges of massive fraud. Then, he takes you into the courtroom as he examines the whole trial process that she is facing.

From the loss of crucial evidence to unusual defence strategies, charisma, and the sentence that Holmes stands for, this podcast takes you through this unbelievable startup story.
