SF poop-testing startup, once compared to Theranos, charged in $60M fraud scheme

Source: Hacker News

Article note: Health-tech startup. Structured for maximum appeal (Noninvasive procedure, trendy health issue, charismatic woman at the front), and hooked in to the opaque-ass US medical billing system. Looks too good to be true. It's _always_ the Theranos scam being run.
