Erica Chung was 23 when she quit her job at Theranos. She had witnessed unconscionable and fraudulent practices that were negatively impacting real patients' lives. After the break, we'll hear from Erica about the fallout after she left Theranos. We'll be back in a moment with a slight change of plans.
Hi Slight Changers — this past Friday, Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of the fraudulent biotech company Theranos was sentenced to 11.25 years in a Federal prison. I wanted to reshare my interview with Erika Cheung today. She had the courage to stand up for what was right and blow the whistle, even when her personal safety was at risk. Erika was instrumental in bringing Holmes to justice.
