The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley

Holy Crap, what a sociopath.
Well made documentary about how Silicon Valley is full of "fake it till you make it" con-artists who get investments from people who are normally sane.
It's mostly about one woman who pretended to be Steve Jobs and swindled powerful and wealthy people out of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Her company was valued at $9 billion. One year later it was valued at ZERO.

The book 'Bad Blood' is a great read.

Elizabeth Holmes took crazy to a whole different level. Lots of businesses fake it til you make it, and I’m not the biggest fan of what Silicon Valley offers the world, but to say she is indicative of the average Silicon Valley entrepreneur is not fair.

I didn't know that was an old documentary. Anyways I just saw it. Apparently it's from last year.

Just bustin balls. I’ve always thought that was case was fascinating, especially how many rich entrepreneurs she got to buy into her scheme.
The Dropout is one of the better podcasts I’ve listened to. Tons of interviews with coworkers who slowly caught onto her.
