之前跟大家提過記錄矽谷最大騙局之一:新創公司Theranos興起與衰敗,被華爾街周刊記者寫為《惡血》一書,最近HBO也推出記錄片《 發明家:矽谷獵血(The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley)》,並已在美國時間3月18日首播,許多網友看完記錄片後,陸續在推特上抒發對於紀錄片感到不可思議的心情。
原汁原味的內容在這裡華爾街周刊記者John Carreyrou的《惡血》一書,是2018年度暢銷書,還獲得年度最佳商業圖書獎。
《惡血:矽谷獨角獸的醫療騙局!深藏血液裡的祕密、謊言與金錢(Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup)》 中文版由商業周刊出版

《惡血》以深入淺出的筆觸,總結了John Carreyrou對Theranos的調查結果,揭開Theranos4億募資,市值90億騙局的前因後果。在史丹佛大學的輟學生,伊莉莎白‧福爾摩斯(Elizabeth Holme)以全新設計的血液檢測機號召下,無數在商場與政界打滾多年的菁英,是如何不疑有他投入數以億計的金錢,被喻為下一個賈伯斯的伊莉莎白,最終又是如何露出馬腳,讓Theranos與她的名譽一起轟然倒地。HBO也隨後以預告片形式追蹤這樁騙局的成因,並採訪了多位曾與伊莉莎白共事過的關係人。

網友看完《 The Inventor》後,也紛紛上網抒發自己對於比小說還要精彩的真人真事難以置信的心情
「這部紀錄片很可怕的原因,在於那些被騙投資的人們,也是負責管理我們國家經濟的人,他們沒有查明真相,就用我們的血汗錢去投資」
This documentary is scary because the same people being fooled into putting money in this sham company are people who have control over our economy. Investing our hard earned money without checking under the hood. #TheInventor #Theranos

「你們有沒有注意到,女性的反應都是『伊莉莎白這很有意思,但是不可能成功的』,然後男人的反應都是......」

「看了紀錄片兩秒後『那是她真正的聲音嗎?』」

「你能想像一天24小時都要用假聲音說話有多累人嗎?」
Also, can you imagine how exhausting it must be to keep up a fake voice 24/7? #TheInventor

「我們開始看HBO的Theranos預告片四分鐘後,我對於伊麗莎白的"低沉嗓音"笑到停不下來」
We are four minutes in on this #Theranos doc on HBO and I cannot stop laughing at Elizabeth Holmes “deep voice”
— Mattie-Lou Chandler (@MattieLouC) March 19, 2019
This story is absolutely fascinatingly absurd. #TheInventor
「伊麗莎白福爾摩斯,為了顯得很威嚴而假裝自己聲音很低沉」
Elizabeth Holmes... her put on fake deep voice for gravitas is a lot... #TheInventor

給各位參考一下:這是伊麗莎白福爾摩斯的聲音
「這部預告片裡所有元素都齊了
做壞事的女白人
有錢的老白男
矽谷詐騙事件
還有亨利季辛吉」
This. Documentary. Has. Everything.

White women behaving badly.
Stupid rich old white dudes.
Silicon Valley scamming.
Henry Kissinger. #TheInventor
「我真的很好奇如果她不是從投資者那裡詐騙金錢,那他們是不是會讓她繼續說謊直到出人命為止?_」
I really wonder if she hadn’t have defrauded investors, would they have let her just keep on lying until somebody died? #TheInventor

「不眨眼,藍眼睛,低沉的聲音,穿黑色高領,金髮碧眼需要護髮的女人說:一滴血滴進這個盒子裡,就可以做200種檢測
白男跟沃爾格林(美國最大連鎖藥局):不用證據,給你錢。」

「伊麗莎來不梳頭,也不潤髮,甚至不眨眼,然後都沒有人對此提高警覺」
Elizabeth didn’t comb her hair, use conditioner, or fucking blink and no one raised red flags #TheInventor

「觀看《 The Inventor》跟Fyre音樂季的紀錄片很有趣,可以看到有些人多輕易就可以從投資人那裏募到幾百萬美元的資金,卻不用給出任何證明,然而同時有些有色人種連一個展示已經可行概念的機會都沒有」
It’s been interesting to watch #TheInventor & the #FyreFestival docs to see how easy it is for some ppl to raise millions of dollars from investors without showing proof of anything yet POC struggle to get even ONE meeting w/ investors to show an already working concept.

「老實說,我從HBO的《 The Inventor》學到最重要的一課,就是伊麗莎白簡直就是教科書級的白種人的特權受益者。沒有一個少數族群在沒有拿出有可信度跟可操作結果的情況下,還可以走到她那麼遠的程度。」
Honestly, the biggest takeaway I have from @HBODocs #TheInventor is that Elizabeth Holmes was a textbook beneficiary of white privilege. No minority with the same lack of credentials and lack of actionable results would've gotten a far as she did.

「所謂白種人的特權,就是投資人因為你的曾祖父是企業家你舅舅是醫生就願意給你幾百萬,因為你一定天生就擅長那些事情。」
White privilege is when an investor will give you millions of dollars because your great grandad was an entrepreneur and your uncle was a doctor so you must be a natural at those things. #TheInventor pic.twitter.com/c7Td5QaomS

《惡血》的故事已經決定改編為電影,並由同樣金髮眼,還有年紀輕輕就取得成功的珍妮佛勞倫斯主演,縱觀整個好萊塢,還真是沒有人比她更適合這個角色了。
