> Another person familiar with Altman’s thinking said he was willing to meet with the board’s shortlist of proposed candidates, except for one person whom he declined on ethical grounds.

Now you have me interested, who could that one person be? Charles Koch? Henry Kissinger? Because many of those I would normally have guessed are either in the article as possible collaborator (middle-easter connection) or is already an investor (like Elmo). Honestly, who is too ethically different here and yet still within the anglosphere to be considered a board member?



Assuming he's as manipulative as the worst reports of him say, "ethical grounds" translates to "doesn't believe my lies"


"Ethical grounds" read: has them.


> Henry Kissinger?

I think his stock as potential boardmember probably went down with his service on the Theranos board.


If accepting a job offer from Richard Nixon doesn't sink you, then nothing will.


Henry Kissinger is 100 years old


It's a joke. The explanation is that who would have to have worse morals and ethics than Altman for Altman to dismiss considering them on those grounds.


Condoleeza Rice?


Can’t imagine Kissinger is a popular choice for boards today…
