Legal team, we are going to discuss something that is incredibly relevant in pop culture due to the release of You Can See Everything, a documentary co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim following the disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. On the docket this week is how Holmes falsely misrepresented her medical device to people of high level positions and the aftermath of getting caught in her lies. We’re diving into how exactly she broke the law, what she was convicted and not convicted of, and exploring the trial themes of the defense and prosecution. There's a lot to cover here, so tune in next week for part 2!
