I am actually a lot more interested in the question of the board and investors. If Ms. Holmes is indeed a not-so-smart sociopath/psychopath/... why was half the top level of the US government so prepared to hand her a big check?

A partial list people she convinced: George Schulz (former Secretary of State) and "via him" ...

* Richard Kovacevich, former Wells Fargo & Co. CEO

* Jim Mattis, former head of U.S. Central Command who later became Defense Secretary

* Gary Roughead, U.S. Navy officer

* Sam Nunn, former U.S. Senator

* Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State

* William Perry, former Defense Secretary

* Richard Kovacevich (former CEO of Wells Fargo);

* William Perry (former United States Secretary of Defense); and

* William Foege (former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

* Besty DeVos (former education secretary)

These are all people who decide on who gets to occupy really important positions in the US government. This is not a full list (but I'm mostly leaving out Trump cabinet members ... shall we say for obvious reasons. That Betsy DeVos cannot correctly judge biomedical test performance, fine. That William Foege can't see medical fraud for what it is, not OK. That Secretaries of State cannot tell they're being lied to for 5 years ... I mean the positions these people occupy and oversee are going to be magnets for sociopaths/psychopaths ... and they can't tell?

WTF.
