Part Three
Feature interview: investigative journalist John Carreyrou on the fall of Theranos (encore broadcast)
Elizabeth Holmes said she had invented technology that would revolutionize blood tests — and people invested billions in her company, Theranos.

In the Wall Street Journal, investigative journalist John Carreyrou broke the news that the company was broken — and now, it's just broke. An encore presentation of Carol's interview with Mr. Carreyrou, about his book on the fall of Theranos, Bad Blood.
