Theranos-Style Fraud Has Become the Norm, Atlantic Argues
Original: Theranos-Style Fraud Has Become the Norm
The Atlantic has published an essay arguing that the kind of fraud embodied by Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes — grand claims unmoored from reality, sustained by hype — has become normalized in American business and culture. The piece draws connections between the Theranos scandal and broader patterns in tech, politics and media, including references to Donald Trump and entertainer Nathan Fielder. Readers are debating whether fraudulent overpromising now goes largely unpunished.
Why now: The argument that Theranos-style fraud is now mainstream is striking a chord amid ongoing concern over hype-driven startups and political dishonesty.
