If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison. But Elizabeth may be able to sway a jury with her charisma, highly unusual defense strategy and the fact that key evidence has gone missing. John Carreyrou broke the Theranos scandal. Now he’ll take you into the courtroom as he examines Silicon Valley’s fake it-til-you-make it culture, and the case against Holmes.Three Uncanny Four Politics & Government Social Sciences True Crime

Great everything. So much so, I would gladly pay for each "This Week in Court" episode. Maybe let people without Apple devices pay to get access to those?

I have been following the Theranos story for quite a while, and have been continuously amazed at the volume of evidence of fraud and deceit this author and others are still uncovering. The picture of this self-entitled, narcissistic, 19 year old defrauding wealthy old men is not near as frightening as her callous indifference to the patients who received (and made healthcare decisions based on) faulty, inaccurate blood tests. The picture of big business this reveals is frightening. When a pretty girl can cosplay herself into running a 9 billion dollar startup, we know Silicon Valley is in trouble.

As for the Svengali defense, it is an insult to abused women everywhere that she would present this as an excuse and justification for her crimes. I can only hope jurors see through the 10 figure legal team's defense arguments and convict her. sending her to prison for a couple of decades is likely the only chance her little girl will have to be raised with a moral compass.

Kudos to John Carreyrou and his team for his stories in the WSJ, his book and this excellent podcast.

Better than any fiction you can read.

I have been following the Theranos story since Elizabeth Holmes was indicted in 2018.  Mr. Carreyrou was my first and go-to source for all things Theranos, so I was very interested in following this podcast during the trial.  Mr. Carreyrou’s reporting is, as always, thorough.  Over the course of the episodes he introduces new information providing fresh and interesting insight into the fall of Theranos (i.e. the Roger Parloff tapes).  What I found lacking was the week-to-week analysis of the trial itself.  In my opinion another podcast covering the same subject matter was far more engaging.  To be fair, Mr. Carreyrou covered that content in another podcast.  However, I was excluded from that content because it was offered specifically behind Apple’s paywall.   

Great reporting, wanted more content on Trial
