The case against the Theranos founder is a troubling reminder: It's easier for the law to protect investors and much harder to protect the public.
If, however, you were more offended by Holmes’ audacity to enter the marketplace with a “miracle” blood-testing device she knew didn’t work, you may be forgiven for being let down by the verdict. When it came to the four counts of fraud meant to punish Holmes for misleading customers into trusting the results of Theranos’ nonfunctioning Edison blood analyzer, the jury voted not guilty.
Theranos was a phenomenon familiar in our time—in this case, a medical disruptor that was willing to practice faulty medicine on the way to achieving its dreams. How many other tech companies can we think of that aspire to bring great things to life but are content to wreak havoc along the way? This is the problem that has plagued us for much of the last decade.
