Carreyrou & WSJ vs. Boies Schiller
The Boies Schiller delegation was led by David Boies himself!
Admissions: Ownership of commercial blood analyzers; problematic potassium test was a known issue, and no faulty results had been released to patients.
Siemens ADVIA? Special dilution on ADVIA? Number of tests done by the Edison? Trade secret!
Boies Schiller and witnesses
Tyler was young and unqualified; disgruntled ex-employees are unreliable.
BS summoned Erika to an interview, lest she be litigated against.
Dr. Sundene had declined a meeting with Sunny and the response was hostile.
Boies 2nd letter explicitly threatened lawsuit for mischaracterizing Sr. Beardsley’s and Dr. Rezaie’s statements and not unambiguously getting consent to publish. But Carreyrou didn’t plan to use the info because it was secondhand.
Witnesses were caving in. Dr. Stewart resisted Balwani’s request to sign statement, but feared Balwani’s [empty] threats of besmirching her if article went through.
