THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 70's. Theranos 3
"Isn't it dangerous for patients." I imagine how misdiagnosed when the lab results are messed up, of course it can create a lot of problems and even endanger lives.
"Very Sir! That could carry a federal prison sentence for being in the US!"
"How to investigate this, it should be made public with the evidence. Can you do it?"
"I? It's too risky for me, even if it's a fight, I don't want to face the terrible list of directors listed there if it bothers them."
"Hmm. You're right too, with the list of honorary directors listed there will be a lot of problems. You got any suggestions for a safer way?" He thought for a moment.
"Maybe you can take this to investigative reporters. If the claim of the results is in doubt, then there must be data comparing the results of the patient's test to other patients. Hmm.. I know one editor of JAMA medical journal who is also a consultant investigator specifically for the New York Times." This is very good, if this issue is investigated I think and proven, it could be that this stock that soars high falls to zero value.
"Contact him, tell him, I'll pay him if he can lift this up and cause an uproar."
"You want to pay?"
"Yes, of course. But don't ask me why." I mentioned the amount I was going to spend to pay for it. The old man seemed to understand I mean not to say my reason why I wanted to attack Theranos Technology.
"I get it, I'll call my friend right away." He's coming out fast.
"This is going to be a big uproar. With the tremendous value of Theranos Technology, many rich people will lose money." Anna saw me and opened the last Theranos Technology stock report on the exchange.
"It's better than people losing their lives. The world's population is already pretty loose after the infection was completed 5 years ago."
"Of course, but you must be imagining here, how the pale face of your dear sister is because her stock is falling like dust. I think the last increase in his stock was also due to his large investment in Theranos." The conclusion Anna made was quite reasonable.
"I feel so too. Next year there will be a major correction. He'll lose big if he still holds it."

Author notes.
Theranos, under CEO Elizabeth Holmes, is a true story. Elizabeth Holmes, founder of the health technology company Theranos, has been sentenced to 15 years for defrauding investors. This indictment comes after the trial for more than four months in California, United States (US).
Prosecutors said Holmes had knowingly lied about his company's technology, which he said could detect the disease with just a few drops of blood.
A few years earlier, the woman born on February 3, 1984 was predicted to become "The Next Steve Jobs" through the revolution of the health care industry with his company, Theranos.
In 2014, Holmes built a company with a valuation of US$ 9 billion or equivalent to Rp 128.7 trillion (assuming US$ 14,300/US$) which is predicted to bring a revolution in disease diagnosis.
Theranos is a startup that offers revolutionary blood test technology. The Silicon Valley, California-based biotech startup is trying to disrupt the multibillion-dollar U. S. blood test industry.
The startup claims to be able to perform hundreds of tests (over 240) ranging from cholesterol levels to complex genetic analysis, with just one needle prick to draw blood.
The technology is projected to destroy an industry that originally needed one bottle of blood for each diagnostic test performed.
Offering speed and low prices, Theranos seems poised to revolutionise the healthcare and medical industry to save lives around the world. Unfortunately this did not go smoothly because fraud scandals began to surface because of a journalist's investigation after Theranos employees themselves said that they cheated consumers who used their machine services. Continued by consumers who feel the results of their checks are wrong.
The value of 9 billion dollars shares became 0 in 2018. Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
