That’s a hard question. Zac and Jessica fired people often and required things be done their way, which a was usually wrong or substandard. The result was that your poop was actually sequenced, but the results weren’t trustable

Why was there so much turnover?

The criminal behavior outlined in the indictment is completely inline with their other behavior. They always cut corners and misrepresented things, it just took a while to do so in a way that violated laws. I think you can look at the Trump White House for an example of a place with a lot of turnover that also had criminal conduct.

Most people were fired for invented reasons or whims. Other people realized how toxic the founders were, and left.

A comment above indicates two people got identical test result reports with a very long report. This seems unlikely unless either:

- the system made specific predictions with very little data such that two people could get the same prediction and report simply bc they shared a few poop attributes that were key in the prediction (which would imply a very very bad model)

- the reports were fake

Can you speak to this?
