>Theranos generated around 7.8 million test results for Arizona consumers alone. Of those, roughly 834,000 had to be voided or corrected. These were real people getting medical information they relied on.

Those are rookie numbers.

When Merck hid data showing Vioxx was causing heart attacks and death, not only did no one go to jail, but the fines were less than the revenue of the drug.

Vioxx would go on to kill an estimated 50,000 people before being pulled off the market.

Holmes made the mistake of having too few lobbyists and FDA insiders.
