紀錄片《惡血》揭開矽谷「女版賈伯斯」的最大騙局 網友:她故意用假聲說話?
很多時候,現實比小說更精彩。我們之前介紹過矽谷「女版賈伯斯」Elizabeth Holme的3千億大騙局。她創建血液檢測公司「Theranos」,以假技術和簡陋的設備,騙取無數商場、政界菁英的信任,最後被拆穿,「Theranos」與她的名譽一起轟然倒地。
《「女版賈伯斯」3千億大騙局遭戳破 創業女神從千億身家歸零》
▼華爾街週刊記者John Carreyrou深入調查,2008年時寫成了《惡血》一書。這本書以深入淺出的筆觸,揭開了這個駭人聽聞的大騙局。
▼《惡血》一推出就引發關注,成為年度暢銷書,還獲得年度最佳商業圖書獎。中文版的《惡血》由商業週刊出版,大家感興趣的話可以看看。
▼HBO以預告片的形式追蹤這起騙局的成因,並採訪了多位曾與Elizabeth共事的人。一起看看紀錄片《發明家:矽谷獵血》的預告片。
▼網友們看完預告片後感覺很不可思議,紛紛表示:「開始看HBO的紀錄片4分鐘後,我對於Elizabeth的『低沈嗓音』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」
This story is absolutely fascinatingly absurd. #TheInventor
▼「你能想像一天24小時都要用假聲說話有多累嗎?」
Also, can you imagine how exhausting it must be to keep up a fake voice 24/7? #TheInventor
▼「看了紀錄片2秒後:『那是她真正的聲音嗎?』」
two seconds into the theranos documentary and chris screams IS THAT HER REAL SPEAKING VOICE
▼「你們有沒有注意到,女性的反應都是『Elizabeth這很有意思,但不可能成功』,然後男人的反應都是…」
Do you notice how the women were like 「Elizabeth that’s fun but it’s not going to work」 and all the men were like… #TheInventor #Theranos pic.twitter.com/irGeJGXDZn
▼「這部紀錄片很可怕,因為那些被騙投資的人,正是負責管理我們國家經濟的人,他們沒有調查清楚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
▼「Elizabeth從不梳頭,也不潤髮,甚至不眨眼,然而沒人警覺不對勁。」
Elizabeth didn’t comb her hair, use conditioner, or fucking blink and no one raised red flags #TheInventor
▼「不眨眼、藍眼睛、低沈嗓音、穿黑色高領、金髮碧眼需要護髮的女人說:將一滴血滴進這個盒子裡,就可以做200種檢測。白人男性跟沃爾格林(美國最大連鎖藥局):不用證據,給你錢。」
Non-blinking, blue eyed, deep-throated, black turtleneck wearing, blonde white woman in need of a deep conditioner:
"One drop of blood can be put in a box and spit out the results of 200 tests."
White Men & Walgreens:
(Invests millions with no proof!)#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
▼「這個預告片裡集齊了所有元素:做壞事的女白人、有錢的老男白人、矽谷詐騙事件,還有Henry Kissinger。」
This. Documentary. Has. Everything.
White women behaving badly.
Stupid rich old white dudes.
Silicon Valley scamming.
Henry Kissinger. #TheInventor
▼「Elizabeth Holme,為了顯得很威嚴,假裝自己聲音很低沉。」
Elizabeth Holmes… her put on fake deep voice for gravitas is a lot… #TheInventor
▼「所謂白種人的特權,就是投資人因為你的曾祖父是企業家,你的舅舅是醫生,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
▼「我從HBO的紀錄片學到了最重要的一課,就是Elizabeth簡直是教科書級的白種人特權受益者。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,能夠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.
▼「觀看這個紀錄片跟Fyre音樂季的紀錄片很有趣,可以看到有些人多輕鬆就能從投資者那裡拿到幾百萬美元的資金,還不用拿出任何證明。然而同樣的情況下,有色人種連一個展示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.
▼這個驚天大騙局還準備拍成電影,主角由影后珍妮佛勞倫斯(Jennifer Lawrence)飾演。她同樣是金髮碧眼、年紀輕輕就功成名就,真的很適合這個角色。
沒想到這麼荒唐的事會在現實生活中發生,還有那麼多成功人士上當受騙,現實果然比小說、電影更精彩啊~
