<i>From everything I&#x27;ve seen there&#x27;s very little actual information publicly available either way about what&#x27;s going on (aside from some weak pop tech journalism).</i><p>Not sure why you&#x27;re being deliberately obtuse about what Theranos&#x27; failings are.  Their alleged disruptive technology has never been shown to work.  Their lab where they use other companies&#x27; technologies is in such a state of disarray that Medicare has publicly stated that they may be endangering patients&#x27; lives (i.e., through cross-contamination of samples, inaccurate labeling, etc.).<p>Multiple former employees have talked about Theranos&#x27; failings, and multiple government agencies have audited&#x2F;inspected Theranos and found it severely deficient.<p><i>I&#x27;d imagine this negative media attention is stressful for them - like it is for any startup. </i><p>Good. They should be stressed out.  They&#x27;ve taken almost $90 million dollars and all they&#x27;ve accomplished is putting people&#x27;s lives at risk so they can play startup.<p><i>Should minimally wait for something substantial to see if there was any actual wrongdoing - there&#x27;s not much here so far.</i><p>There isn&#x27;t just actual wrongdoing--some of the allegations rise to the level of <i>criminal</i> wrongdoing. Felonies, not misdemeanors.  It&#x27;s very possible that the founder ends up in jail when all of this is done.
