Unbelievable - even if he said Theranos is trying to get their shit together and there have been some mistakes, it would make sense. To say its just a smear campaign is ridiculous - what about the thousands of results they withdrew as they admitted it was wrong?

It's even more ridiculous to call her one of the greatest female entrepreneurs!

I had a lot of respect for Draper but this is so disappointing. Just to make sure their investment does not hit a big ZERO value, they seem to be siding with an entrepreneur who has wronged everyone! What a shame!

Didn't you ever read Founders at Work and what DFJ did to the Hotmail guys?

No, but can you give a gist?

I'm not sure if he's completely blind or self-deluded. I hope to believe that he's not saying these things just to line his own pockets. Being delusional isn't malicious.

That said, it makes me wonder how it is possible for someone to live so far outside a reasonable view of the world. We should critically examine the press, but these days conspiracy theories are running rampant and we can't seem to agree on a common set of facts to examine anymore.

The facts here are clear, Theranos has sold a product that doesn't work irresponsibly, and done so without proper science.

Back when the first anti-Theranos article was published, VC Dave Morin argued that it was the duty of Millennials to dig deeper and investigate the press for the possibility of a smear campaign: https://twitter.com/williamalden/status/658705178523258880

After Theranos admitted fault, he retracted those comments.
