December 2003: A 19-year-old Stanford dropout stares into a mirror, lowers her voice an octave, and prepares to sell a $700 million lie.

This is the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos—the Silicon Valley unicorn that promised to revolutionize healthcare with a "single drop of blood" but ended up delivering one of the most dangerous frauds in history. While other founders were building apps, Holmes was building a board of directors that looked like a shadow government, recruiting Generals and Secretaries of State who couldn't tell a USB port from a cup holder but loved her PowerPoint slides.

From faking demos with "magic" boxes that didn't work to running a company culture that felt like North Korea with better snacks, this video exposes how a teenager in a black turtleneck fooled the smartest (and richest) people in the room.

In this video, we cover:

• The "Steve Jobs" Cosplay: How Holmes manufactured a persona—complete with the fake deep voice and black turtlenecks—to distract investors from the fact that she failed chemistry.

• The "Shadow Government" Board: Why Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, and General Mattis backed a medical device they didn't understand.

• The Edison Machine Hoax: How Theranos faked live demos for investors while secretly running blood samples on standard machines in the back room.

• The Culture of Fear: The tyrannical reign of Sunny Balwani and how the company silenced anyone who asked, "Does this thing actually work?"

• The Whistleblowers: How Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung risked everything to expose the fraud to the Wall Street Journal.

Whether you're interested in financial true crime, corporate disasters, or just want to see how $9 billion can vanish into thin air, this is the ultimate breakdown of the Theranos illusion.
