We Shouldn’t Be Surprised at the Theranos Fraud

What I find truly amazing is that both Kissinger and Mattis were board members, and were party to this grand pump-and-dump, and seem to have escaped any consequence or notice.

Holmes, while equally culpable, appears to be taking the entire fall.

I wonder what she’s getting in return - a cabinet position in a few years once the dust has settled, I’m wagering.

There might be numerous legitimate reasons to dislike Kissinger and Mattis going well beyond Theranos, but suggesting they're as culpable for being hired to promote something they didn't understand to the military as the person who conceived and masterminded the fraud is stretching it a little far. I imagine Kissinger and Mattis' reputation would have taken a bigger hit if it didn't already have much bigger black marks against it.

You're surprised that Kissinger has escaped consequences?
