At this point, for me - and I’m paraphrasing myself from another thread I think - it’s like somebody you had a big crush on in high school and 20 years later they’ve basically hit rock bottom but their family’s still rich so who cares

that first paragraph deliberately misrepresents Kositsky (who is actually doing a really good job and is a very dedicated and p innovative guy) and his broader, actually correct point and then just goes downhill from there

Theranos hits the very, very end of the road, after not finding a buyer for the patent portfolio. Will settle with its secured creditor by handing over the IP (such as it is) and return the last $5m cash in the bank to unsecured creditors.

Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

Seriously, her day is broken up by a fucking HOUR AND A HALF LUNCH, and then an HOUR MIDDAY TRAIN RIDE TO PALO ALTO. Meanwhile the rest of her day is just, like, talking to people? Which I get can have its own exhaustion, but it doesn't exactly sound high pressure.

If you look at the author's other articles, this one has like 100x the "fire symbol" as the others, presumably meaning it's been read and shared much more. And I'm guessing the subject has to be her friend or something, right?
