Hard to imagine that there can be any legitimate justification for this redaction in Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes's public sentencing memorandum. This entire docket is riddled with inexplicable secrecy.

8 victims of a pedophile IHS doctor have reached an agreement with the government for around $14.5 million. The settlement comes 3 years after @WSJ @frontlinepbs documentary on how Dr. Stanley Weber abused Native American boys for decades. w/@cdweaver: wsj.com/articles/u-s-r…


How did @IHSgov handle whistleblowers who flagged Weber's abuse? One proposed sending an accuser to Kotzebue, AK, in the Arctic Circle, to silence him. The agency made a series of changes after our initial report to try to fix this toxic culture. wsj.com/articles/u-s-r…


Under this deal, each victim would get $1.5-$2 million. Some of them endured years of sexual abuse at the hands of the doctor. @IHSgov managers ignored and even punished people who accused Weber of abuse. wsj.com/articles/u-s-r…
