Is this some PR firm hired by Holmes to post negative content? Or Holmes herself? I feel like there are only 10 ppl in the world who would really believe the above statement / stand to gain from it.

The book he is “promoting” is the one he wrote about Theranos / Holmes fraud. It’s incredibly germane to the article.

The article is badly written, if true. The title is almost entirely unrelated to the content.

It's a hook to the article, the article covers the podcast interview - and the hook is hearing that Holmes is looking for new VC funds.

That's interesting in as much as it reveals her shamelessness, I don't see on what basis you call that "bad writing".

Secondly, article titles are not always chosen by the column author, but by the editorial team - if you don't like an article title - you are sometimes more exact to call it bad editorial.
