My guess -- some nasty implicit or explicit "you talk to the press and we'll sue you into oblivion" agreements that employees had to sign.
Which you and I know are especially illegal in the life science industries at the federal and state (in most states) levels. But given how secretive Holmes was toward potential investors and customers this would not surprise me.

1. https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Theranos-Reviews-E248889.h... (look at the one-star ones...many of the rest are suspiciously booster-ish)
2. How do you think the original WSJ article came about? http://www.wsj.com/articles/theranos-has-struggled-with-bloo...
What I keep asking though, is where were the employees in all this? I also spent over a decade in the device industry, and everyone I worked with, from biochemists to engineers to Regulatory Affairs people would have been screaming loudly. We took patient safety very seriously. Any suggestion that our instrumentation was defective was immediately investigated. This is typical in the medical device industry. I can't believe that the rank and file people working at Theranos were really any different.
So where are their voices?
