The tests were actually done the old fashioned way since the Theranos way was virtually non existent. At least, that's the conclusion I've come to after some searching. I don't believe any patients were hurt.

Walgreens just looks dumb by not doing more DD on Theranos devices. And, Elizabeth Holmes is just another version of Shkreli to me. Primary difference is her lack of documenting all on youtube. Don't like either one of them.

Are you familiar with the term "reverse shoplifting?" I think that explains a lot of those scammy product placement photos in major chains.

I have a friend who used an IUD years back that was faulty and no longer on the market. She became sterile as a result. She can really have her bitter days, that you really don't want to be around her. I understand the anger of never having a kid, but so bitter, she doesn't want a husband.

The class action suit that pursued never even came close to paying what she and others deserved. I don't know what her compensation was, but it was not much to better her life. I never really followed the case.

So did SpongeTech fool Walmart, also? Walmart offered SpongeTech and Dicon products through their stores all across the country, as did other national retailers, such as CVS.

A lot of companies have been trying to get their products into Walmart stores for a long time. From what I understand, that's not an easy thing to do.

I haven't heard too many people complain about the quality of the SpongeTech products, either. Decent products, national distribution, and a good new-product pipeline...not to mention the fact that the company was on the RegSHO list even as the SEC suspended trading in the stock.
