> It would be shocking if Theranos survives this.

According to the last paragraph, they're still expanding.

"Last week, Siemens delivered lab equipment to a Theranos facility in the Harrisburg, Pa., area, according to the person familiar with the matter. The person said Theranos is preparing to open there what would be the company’s third lab."

I'm still not willing to bet everybody involved won't come out fantastically rich.

That doesn't mean anything much. The equipment could have been ordered months before and if so, was likely on a NC/NR (No Cancellation/No Return) purchase order.

When I was in the business, we built stuff more or less to order. You don't want to warehouse a bunch of machines that cost you almost $100k each to build.

As in, you mean you're still willing to bet that everybody involved WILL come out fantastically rich, despite all the major setbacks thus far?
