Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou

5.0

When purchasing this book the person who was ringing up my purchase asked me if had watched the videos of her and or the documentary/special on TV regarding her/her company. I indicated that I had not but a lot of people on goodreads had read it and said it was a wild read.

Finally diving into my true crime/cult pile, I pulled this out when I was in a bit of a book lull.

I DEVOURED IT. Working in the healthcare, and during when all this was going on, I'm surprised I never heard a thing about it. It infuriates me that someone like this exists. Someone so... awful exists.

This is a well documented detail of a woman on a one-way-ticket to crazyville - jail. I can't tell if she was mentally all there, a criminal mastermind, or our government and old white men (since that's what most of these people were that were approving her without credentials) were just stupid. I want to say it was all those things!

I am astonished on the people who were complicit, the people who didn't speak up for others. I want to applaud those who risked so much to come forward and those who benefited from this book.

I feel awful for all the tests done that were fraudulent and the lives that may have been lost under this bitch.
