Read This: Bad Blood by John Carreyou

This book is amazing. You should read it. How did these clowns get away with this scam? How did Holmes convince a board full of geriatric white guys to support her company? Why did someone not ask Holmes what the hell was wrong with her stupid voice? The book does a thoroughly researched job explaining what happened, but I will never understand how it happened. Silicon Valley is thirsty af.

Holmes and her cartoonishly villainous cohorts managed to con their way into NINE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. That's a lot of money! Apparently more than half of it was spent on legal fees, which raises the question of how much the lawyers collecting those fees (and aggressively suing anyone that dared to speak the truth about this sham) knew about the con, and if the company was actually viable. 

It would be great if the lawyers employed by Holmes would admit some culpability, or maybe suffered some consequences for their participation in this very long con, but that did not happen. Lawyers are very good at making sure that they get to bill hours, and everyone else gets fucked.
