Of course.  The press gets the benefit of hindsight.  Still, this article makes several good points.  If Elzabeth Holmes hadn&#x27;t grown up next door to Tim Draper, Theranos probably wouldn&#x27;t exist, Elizabeth Holmes would probably be a Stanford graduate instead of a dropout, and she and her company would almost certainly not be under criminal investigation.<p>It&#x27;s obviously not Tim Draper&#x27;s fault that this went so badly, but at the same time he should (and apparently doesn&#x27;t) well understand that others <i>will</i> use his investment as a proxy for due diligence.  Having that kind of clout is a responsibility unto itself. He should either hold all investments to the same due diligence standard, or make his involvement confidential in cases where he is investing for reasons other than those for which he normally invests.
