I read the book Bad Blood by John Carreyrou, the WSJ reporter who initially uncovered the con.
She, too, comes from a privileged background (Fleischman Yeast) that gave her a certain cache that allowed her to con Henry Kissinger, Rupert Murdoch, and the like.

She wanted to be like Steve Jobs. In fact, if you remember, she would emulate Jobs by wearing a turtleneck.
