My guess is that the enterprise began with an idea that seemed legitimate, but when the business turned out to be unworkable, no one, especially Holmes, was able to admit defeat. Things went into the side of criminal activity at that point.

I’m sure it did.  From the book things started going really off the rails 5-10 years  ago, depending on how charitable you want to be.  I have worked for/with some real jerks in my time, none held a candle to Holmes and Balwani.

You might find the details on their lab operations en your background as a doctor.  The claimed reason for many who spoke out to the WSJ reporter was to protect patients from tests that were very inaccurate

Yeah, I've worked with people like that, too. Their egos will not allow them to admit they are doing anything but a superb job, so when things go south they start fudging things. The situation goes from bad to worse.
Reminds me of why I don't particularly miss working in Silicon Valley.
