Author’s Note
This book is based on hundreds of interviews with more than 150 people, including more than sixty former Theranos employees. Most of the men and women who appear as characters in the narrative do so under their real names, but some asked that I shield their identities, either because they feared retribution from the company, worried that they might be swept up in the Justice Department’s ongoing criminal investigation, or wanted to guard their privacy. In the interest of getting the most complete and detailed rendering of the facts, I agreed to give these people pseudonyms. However, everything else I describe about them and their experiences is factual and true.
Any quotes I have used from emails or documents are verbatim and based on the documents themselves. When I have attributed quotes to characters in dialogues, those quotes are reconstructed from participants’ memories. Some chapters rely on records from legal proceedings, such as deposition testimony. When that’s the case, I have identified those records at length in the notes section at the end of the narrative.
In the process of writing this book, I reached out to all of the key
figures in the Theranos saga and offered them the opportunity to comment on any allegations concerning them. Elizabeth Holmes, as is her right, declined my interview requests and chose not
to cooperate with this account.
