It’s one of many great documentaries by Alex Gibney. Think I particularly enjoyed it as I didn’t really know much about it at the time. I think you’re right that it was as much a case of doubling down on a ridiculous and unrealistic sense of self belief (and inability to admit failure) as anything else.

Agreed, another is The Smartest Guys in the Room, the Enron documentary based on the book of the same name (also brilliant).

 

Ironically, the Theranos and Enron scandals have very much in common (albeit on totally different monetary scales).

The Ten Commandments has been a springtime TV staple since 1968, with good  reason - Vox

Bizarre. Didn't know the 10 Commandments was written in Klingon?

You can see he is showing them to somebody on the right, the starboard bow.

Yet judge grants the Sacklers immunity. 500,000 deaths caused from oxycontin, yet they get to stay rich and out of prison. Throw in the Texas abortion ruling, mass shootings and wars backed by God. Afghans should count themselves lucky, they missed the planes to the US.

What really annoys me about this whole thread is being told that there never was a phone box outside Gilmerton Miners    Oh Gov, don't you recall Charlton on the mount telling us ,"Thou shalt not tell fibs, especially on JKB!"

 

I am truly gutted.  Is it possible you simply got the phone box wrong?  ;)

 

 

 

Aye, phone box was easily 5 minutes walk away..........so I'm told
