    The woman is Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos fraud.

    The what?

    Just kidding, I just looked it up myself. She started a company with a product that didn’t exist… that’s all?

    The whole story reads a bit underwhelming. But I guess it was a big deal if there is now a movie about it.

      Not really a movie, just some guy followed her around a bit before she went to prison. She isn’t inherently interesting, just I think people are fascinated by a twisted mind like this. Especially because the documentary/whatever apparently doesn’t paint her in a good light, and she still allowed it. Delusional from start to end.

      Surprised you’d never heard of Theranos before though. ColdFusion did a great short doco on it.
