Sorry to say I felt pretty much the same way (although, the acknowledgement that the theory was not new, but the path was not followed simply because of lack of available tech sounds plausible.)
Apparently Helion is a YC company, so if they fooled the investors, than it means those investors are more foolish than you would expect :/ ...
Now, either they'll publish in "Science" or "Applied Whatever", and it's #RoadToNobelPrize ; or they'll get their face on the cover of Time, and we'll know for sure it's a scam.
(In which case, this documentary will serve as reference footage when someone has to shoot the Helion version of "Bad Blood" ?)
Looking forward to JLaw's portrayal of Holmes in Adam McKay's Apple Studios adaptation of Bad Blood. Hope they pick up from where the book ended and cover this trial.

As a follow-up, anyone have any books written about the Dotcom era? I was still fairly young at the time so I don’t remember a lot of it and I can’t find any books or shows that cover it. Lots of stuff from the 70s/80s/early 90s (Masters of Doom, Cuckoos Egg, Halt and Catch Fire, Pirates of Silicon Valley), and lots of stuff from modern Silicon Valley (Bad Blood, Silicon Valley, the various Steve Jobs movies/books) but it seems like the startup world from 1995 to 2002 is just a blank space waiting to be filled.
What about Yahoo and Amazon and Pets.com and Webvan and eBay? What about stock being used for toilet paper and employees wheeling their Aeron chairs home when the company folded? What about Enron? How did 9/11 impact the Dotcom bust? Hell, what programming languages/frameworks were they using?
> I think that movie was planned at a time that Holmes was still believed to be tragic and delusional rather than a cold-blooded conwoman with no redeeming features.
The "Bad Blood" movie is based on the "Bad Blood" book, which is the definitive source documenting Holmes' frauds.
"Director Adam McKay, fresh off his Oscar for The Big Short, has even signed on to make a movie based on Holmes, tentatively titled Bad Blood. (On the bright side for Holmes, Jennifer Lawrence is attached as the lead.)" [1]

The rights to the Theranos movie (Adam McKay, JLaw) have been picked up by Legendary Pictures[0]. Looks like the tentative title is Bad Blood. Too bad they didn't go with the HN-recommended title, Unicorn Blood[1].
