Elizabeth Holmes isn’t fooling anyone. Well, almost anyone. The convicted fraudster and founder of the defunct medical start-up Theranos, is waiting to begin an 11-year sentence in federal prison.
She received this punishment for misleading investors about her lab-in-a-box technology, which she claimed could run hundreds of tests on a few drops of blood. In reality, when Theranos’ Edison device wasn’t exploding, it was delivering unreliable results to frightened patients. Holmes’ fall from grace – she was once the youngest self-made woman billionaire – has been described over and over again. But there’s still a little more blood left in this stone.
