FWIW, I had never heard of Theranos until they came up in the news with all these issues (and I read HN every day).

June of 2014 there was a massive press roll out for Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. You couldn't go anywhere, or look at a magazine rack, without seeing her face.

It's appeared on HN that far back (and further), as well.

There's even a "Theranos" user account on HN that has been posting in "who's hiring" threads as far back as May 2014: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Theranos&next=868287...

I'm the same -- I never heard of Theranos before the criticisms on HN.

I also don't read magazines, read newspapers, watch TV, or listen to the radio.
