German nerd here. I know next to nothing about "the interesting parts of the Holmes/Theranos story", is there a documentary on the facts instead of the villain somewhere?

I don't know of any worthy documentary, but I have read the book "Bad Blood" [0], which I thought was thorough, well written and, to me, an excellent read.

> Tyler Shultz went to work at Theranos right out of Stanford and soon noticed that things weren't as they seemed. Lots of other employees knew there was something fishy going on, but Tyler was one of a tiny handful able to resist the mesmerizing and intimidating Elizabeth Holmes and speak out about the fraud that was putting patients at risk.

There's a miniseries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dropout

This hasn't been mentioned, it's the only one which is a documentary, like the one being discussed:

“Bad Blood” by the journalist who broke the story while Theranos was peaking

There a podcast that covers the trial - https://abcaudio.com/podcasts/the-dropout/

Try the book: Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

Why is this downvoted? Who are these weirdos? This is a good question.
