Hi John! Have been watching the unfolding of Theranos since the first story broke while I was in journalism grad school and I am looking forward to reading the book, which I suggested to my current colleagues for our book club. I have two questions for you:

1.) The public has recently learned the extent that some powerful individuals will go (i.e. Harvey Weinstein) to keep tabs on people, including hiring outside security or investigative firms. Did you ever have a concern that Theranos/Holmes were doing something like that to you to such a severe extent? If so, did you ever think about your safety?

2.) I've noticed that you consistently point out that Holmes and Sunny Balwani were (are?) dating. Wondering what your thinking is in terms of why it's important to mention that when discussing the scandal?

Also, any hopes of who plays you in the film? Are you consulting with the filmmakers in any way?
