John Carreyrou Details Elizabeth Holmes's Deception and Theranos Fraud Timeline
Journalist John Carreyrou explains the concrete evidence of fraud at Theranos, noting the massive errors of the Edison machine and dating the full-fledged operational fraud to the fall of 2013 when Walgreens testing went live.
“And that machine, which was called the Edison, was a machine that was very faulty. And, you know, they had to void every single one of those 12 types of tests for which they issued results.”

“I would date the moment where it becomes a giant fraud to the fall of 2013.”
