People weren't killed by Theranos either. In both cases, it was an open secret in Silicon Valley that the CEOs were selling a bridge.

The media coverage took a long time to catch on because everybody loves a superhero story. Tearing down people who aren't famous doesn't get eyeballs. (What ever happened to Carlos "Alex Piper" Watson?) You'll only get a story that can be milked for weeks after they get big enough.

Didn't some of the Theranos customers get inaccurate blood work though before the house of cards fell? I could see that leading to complications.
