About this episode
Hollywood, Wall Street ma anche la Silicon Valley sono piene di menti geniali ma anche di impostori. “Fake it till you make it” fingi finché non ce la fai, è il loro mantra. E farcela significa una cosa sola: ricevere una pioggia di milioni da parte di investitori.
Esattamente come quelli piovuti sulla testa di un’ex studentessa di Stamford, fondatrice della startup Theranos: una truffa milionaria su cui hanno scritto podcast e serie tv di successo.
In questa puntata, Elisa True Crime racconta la storia di Elizabeth Holmes.
