Hello and welcome to the House of Cards edition of Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week.

I'm Felix Salmon.

I am joined not only by Anna Shemansky.

Hello.

Not only by the Huffington Post's amazing Emily Begg.

Hello.

But also by best-selling internationally renowned investigative journalist and author Mr. John Carrey Roo.

Hello.

Welcome to Slate Money.

I kind of feel like you don't need any introduction anymore because our entire audience has probably read your book at this point

and heard you on a million podcasts and you are just the most celebrity journalist in America

right now um so congratulations on the book which is called bad blood secrets and lies in a

silicon valley startup um and of course you, you have written this entire book basically about Slate Money's favorite grifter, Ms. Elizabeth Holmes.

So we are going to talk to you about that.

We are also going to talk about just capital and the Just 500, which is a new stock index.

If you don't like the S&P 500, because you think it's a bit evil, this is maybe a bit less evil.

We are going to talk about Netflix because New York Magazine has a really kind of deep dive into what they're up to over there, which I learned quite a lot from.

But of course, John, we are going to start with this book of yours, which is selling like hotcakes, I hear.

Is this true?

Oh, I mean, I guess it's been on the New York Times bestseller list for three weeks in a row now, albeit slipping each week from six to nine to 15 this past week.

But yeah, I mean, sales have been really not only good, but very consistent.
