### Comment:
Look up Richard Fuisz, he's apparently a friend of the Holmes family and connected to the intelligence community in all sorts of ways. Everything around the Theranos scam is insanely sketchy.

### REPLY:
In the book, Richard is basically trying to derail her whole operation because of a personal vendetta since he wasn't consulted when she was creating the company. So no, he didn't help her out.

### END.
