The extensive, positive media coverage of Elizabeth Holmes created a reinforcing cycle that helped her raise capital and build the business while avoiding early scrutiny.

“I do think that the press coverage that she got as she was building this business which helped her raise capital helped her attract employees helped her get walgreens and safeway to the table allowed to fall it allowed her to build the business”

Elizabeth Holmes's criminal liability was correctly focused on her deceptive actions toward investors rather than the performance of the technology regarding patients.
