Holmes fooled so many people because she was always talking to The Very Serious People — government leaders, CEOs, celebs, etc.
Had she pitched Theranos to anyone who actually had to consider how they spent their money, like a schoolteacher or a mid-level grocery store manager, they would've immediately known she was a fraud.
Considering how little white-collar crime is prosecuted, I wonder why she's being given such hardcore, public punishment. My guess is because she humiliated a whole class of investors so dramatically and publicly.
