After sorting through all the regulatory gobbled goop and stuff that only investors and business majors care about... Does the technology work or not?

Easy. They wanted to reward a "female genius" company. Like any other fraud...she was giving them what they wanted.Duncan Idaho said:
Like I've said in all of the other threads, I don't get how she was able to go so far when what she was promising was literally biologically and physically impossible. Not really hard to do with today's technology but literally impossible due to how many test she was promising and how little blood she said was required.

Piling on further, how far down the rabbit hole did Walgreens go? I presume people were giving blood at their clinics, and this blood was being sent off for analysis? Didn't these clinics notice that they had to draw the same amount of blood? Didn't they realize they were just investing in Quest Diagnostics? I mean, there was never even a functioning prototype, right?

She played just about every con card exactly right. I haven't read any of the books yet, but I believe some VC's saw through the act and wouldn't invest. The rest got caught up in the hype. She nailed her political moves too.Gig-Em2003 said:
Her Board was a who's who as well. But none of them knew anything about the medicine. She built quite a facade that was very easy to buy into.

Being a senator sucked out all medical knowledge from Bill Frist. Politics tends to do that to people.TXTransplant said:Gig-Em2003 said:

She had an MD on the board for a time - Bill Frist. And they added a medical advisory board in 2016, but by then it was probably too late.
