一滴血的騙局，世界上最邪惡的企業—— Theranos (Theranos: The Most Evil Business In The World)
- Now, the idea with this deal with Walgreens and Safeway was they'd set up Theranos booths in their store where people could get a blood test done with just a prick of their finger, and essentially choose from a menu of which things they wanted to test for. However, this had meant to begin in 2011, but because the machines didn't work properly yet, Elizabeth kept trying to stall for time. There was excuse after excuse to delay the launch date, often for completely bizarre reasons, like she once said they were behind schedule because of an earthquake in Japan, even though that had no impact on their business.
現在，與沃爾格林和 Safeway 簽訂協議的想法是，他們將在店內設立 Theranos 亭，人們只需刺破手指就能進行血液檢測，並從菜單中選擇想要檢測的項目。然而，這本應在 2011 年開始，但由於機器還不能正常工作，伊麗莎白一直試圖拖延時間。她經常以各種奇怪的理由來延後推出日期，比如她曾經說過因為日本地震他們的進度落後了，儘管這對他們的業務沒有任何影響。
- But anyway, after almost 2 years of delays, eventually Elizabeth couldn't stall any longer and she had to make a decision. Admit the technology didn't work and lose the deal with Walgreens and Safeway, which would mean refunding many millions of dollars, or just put the faulty machines in stores and hope it somehow all works out.
但無論如何，經過近兩年的拖延，伊麗莎白最終無法再拖延下去，她必須做出決定。是承認技術失效，失去與沃爾格林和 Safeway 的交易，這意味著要退還數百萬美元；還是把有問題的機器放到商店裡，希望一切都能順利解決。
