[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly never understood the appeal of the product.  Sure, blood draws aren't fun, but they aren't impossible or even particularly difficult.  It always seemed like a solution in search of a problem.  Then to have it be fake in the end . . .  just stupidity all around.[/quote]

Has anyone seen the HBO documentary that dropped last week or the earlier ABC documentary, Bad Bood?  I watched the ABC doc.  This story is fascinating for so many reasons.

Re: the comment above— I don’t get the appeal of the product either.  It’s a single needle poke, either way, and it doesn’t hurt once the needle is in. Frankly, I’d rather be poked in the bend of my elbow than in a fingertip. Less likely to bump the wound or get infected since your fingers touch everything.

And on a superficial note— her fake voice is creepy as hell, and what’s with that dry, straw hair? Had she never heard of conditioner?[/quote]

I watched it. I thought The Dropout (podcast) was more thorough in its coverage (listen if you haven’t had a chance).

I get the appeal of the concept- the ability to do bloodwork in remote army camps or rural clinics, etc. Holmes pretended it was about fear of needles and being able to do bloodwork frequently in your own home. She dismissed the people who knew, and told her, that it wouldn’t work.

The biggest tragedy by far was the employee who killed himself.

It’s just astonishing to me how many smart people she bamboozled. That seems to be a trend these days with frauds like the Fire Festival and Anna Delvey.[/quote]

agree, The Dropout podcast was much more thorough.  
How was she able to fool all those rich, older powerful men?  Was it her freakily large unblinking blue eyes?[/quote]

Her eyes changed so much from when she was younger. Contacts and surgery?[/quote]
