The true story of Elizabeth Holmes
In 2003, 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes launched Theranos, backed by the invention of a device that allowed civilians to run blood tests themselves.
Holmes managed to build her company from the ground up, poaching Apple workers and raking in wealthy investors to get her start-up company to flourish.
While engineers worked tirelessly to make the product work, Holmes would be publicly advocating its durability, removing anomalies that went against the product’s stability, and furiously searching for backers to support Theranos.
Holmes’ bubble burst when major players in the company began quitting, new recruits started talking about the now named Edison machine producing false results to users, and whistleblowers started speaking about Holmes’ unethical practices.
Theranos eventually dissolved in 2018 and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Holmes and her boyfriend/Cheif Operating Officer, Sunny, with securities fraud.
Holmes is currently awaiting sentencing for three counts of wire fraud.
