A United States jury found Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes guilty of conspiring to defraud investors in the blood-testing startup. Holmes was convicted Monday on four of 11 counts.
She was acquitted on four counts, and the jury could not reach a decision on three counts.
Prosecutors said Holmes, 37, swindled private investors between 2010 and 2015 by convincing them that Theranos’s small machines could run a range of tests with a few drops of blood from a finger prick.
Holmes was also charged with misleading patients about the tests’ accuracy.
Holmes rose to Silicon Valley fame after founding Theranos in 2003.

Thought it said Thanos 😂😂😂
Have a look at my report on pandemic Part-1 in which I’ve covered Theranos also.
first viewers…
Wow. She is bad.
Still many things are not knows about them.
Have a look at my report on pandemic Part-1 please, in which I’ve covered Theranos also.
@Investigative Audit will do
@Aziz Aziz Thank you. 🙏
Pure evil 😈
She is such a fraud. Deep fake voice, turtle neck Steve Jobs style….lool
I forgot about her completely
I was working on them for long. Please have a look at my report on pandemic Part-1 in which I’ve covered Theranos also.
Because you aren’t aware of how it affects your life.
Not me
Now that she’s been convicted we can all forget about her.
@Paul L Her story doesnt serve the left of rights agenda so she will be instantly forgotten, yes.
But we dodged a bullet, her bogus blood scanning test was close to going into mass production around the country.
She is probably behind the “jab” testers that are accurate, safe and effective 🤔 Her “investors” must be very proud.
If she had only taken $100 million from DeVos and millions from other big names, I would have found her not guilty.
And they wonder why the public is so skeptical of their jabs … One in the same I’m sorry too say ! Too obvious too some of us …
Actually this helps assure me the vaccines are safe.
Her bogus process was discovered LONG before it made it into mass production. They were going to have it used in Walmart’s etc?
How will feminists spin this.
@Vachagan Balayan I like my sanity im not on twitter.
Wtf does feminism have to do with this? How deranged does one have to be to see this and associate it with “men vs women”?
@Kuygh Maybe watch the full video first.
By ignoring it…
🤨🤨
@Bill Bochynski She literally faked a deep voice for a decade so she can get credibility.
morning ✋
Of course this COULD have been a huge disaster. Imagine you or a loved one getting a false negative from a cancer test, and then passing away because you never had treatment due to her bogus tests?
That’s no argument.
That’s exactly what she tried to do… 🤔
@Linger Longer wat
Since she’s a first offender and has an infant, she won’t get the maximum on these sentences. She may get 20 years but have to pay the maximum fines, which are about half a million dollars.
She’ll get more than 20 years, each of the four charges carries a sentence of 20 years. They’ve already frozen all her assets, they will be used to pay restitution.
Lesson is don’t be a sucker. This woman had one year of college, with absolutely no scientific background or training whatsoever. And she convince people who think themselves smart that she somehow made some kind of scientific breakthrough which all along expert said was impossible. Fools being separated from their money
1 year of college? Really
Free Palestine 🇯🇴❤🇺🇸
Please help stop decades long human rights abuses against the Palestinian people.
@Only The Truth it’s a popular trend among entrepreneurs in the united states. there’s even a scholarship for dropping out of college lol.
She’s bizarre, it’s a medical field, what ever made her think that wouldn’t drop her. Daft.
it’s a brazen industry to try that on for sure. im just surprised she managed to get so far in the first place.
enjoy jail time sociopath
it would be funny if she does like 1 year or half and goes out enjoying billions of stolen wealth
It is a “white collar crime”.
she doesn’t have billions. that was tied to the company. she would have whatever she paid herself as CEO, which is probably only millions.
@JewTube I agree. Probably only $100-$200 million but hopefully all of that will be confiscated to pay damages to aggrieved parties. And hopefully she’ll get a long prison sentence. And hopefully they’ll recharge her after they prosecute her number two. And hopefully they’ll be some significant civil cases.
Mostly all the people that invest in see are also crooks and criminals just look at the list of people in Corporation she lied to that’s the only reason why she’s going to jail
My question, where is the money? Can she give it back?
the remaining cash on hand was given back to creditors a few years ago. the company never really made any revenue and since it had no real value there would have been little to scavenge from it.
Much money has been burned for hiring scientists and engineers to do the literally impossible (which failed) in a toxic work environment.
Con woman convicted of considerable crimes. Double plus good.
SHE NEEDED TO PLAY THE TRUMP CARD.
first ghislaine then her….year of the chuds cometh lads!
What a great role model for young women out there.
That was my comment too! She’s completely full of BS.
This wat happens when u promote Women empowerment
@JVB only in bizarro world
women who sound like should not be idolised regardless of how much money they make
@OT S fyi her company valuation ended being $0. Now it seems shes playing the rape card on sunny balwani so the judge can cut her some slack
Ouch!
Holmes is a con lady … please be very careful. This sort of things is alive well in politics.
Hahaha… “our little girl” will see a lying convict. 🤥
World’s most infamous psychopath
She’s crazy
Cray cray!
Let’s go for the Epstien Island travelers next.
Another win for Feminism.🤣👌😂
Feminism, what a trainwreck. 🙄
She’s never known to anyone if she’s a man
@Festi 2003 I’m pretty sure she’s actually a real she.
“The ability to influence people without irritating them is the most profitable skill you can learn.”
I hope she does hard time for profiting through people’s lives. Disgusting.
At least it’s better to channel the greed to science than war machines
There was absolutely zero gullibility!
She knew full well what she was doing.
She’s seems to be really good at playing a victim.
There are large number of scammers like her in USA, who practice “Fake it until you make it”. She will not the last one to go to jail.
Not a good role model for little girls
So, feminists cannot make it without the fakery
Con artists are after all America’s biggest export!
The sad reality is that she will likely never serve a day in jail.
So many sociopathic narcissists out there . They have absolutely no scruples . People be careful 🌎😳
Capitalism creates terrible incentives
Better than communism fascism or living in England in 1750
BS!
You have no idea what capitalism is.
Capitalism is simply the separation of the economy from the so-called “State.”
Capitalism is free markets with no middlemen.
This was simple fraud with George Schultz not doing his due diligence, but rather being infatuated with Holmes.
Oh, and BTW, capitalism creates the best incentives.
Study Austrian economics.
🏴☠️🏴☠️
Am not gloating but if this lady was Chinese or Russian it’s would be nasty
Welcome to SHITH HEAD United States!
most likely she will do life in prison
😂😂😂
She should be very nervous, ripping off some major wealthy people is never good and they don’t forgive easily, just look at what happened to Bernie Madoff. This is a maximum of 80 years in prison.
Her father was a top exec from Emron. The apple did not fall far from the tree.
Hopefully she’ll get a long sentence!
Do you mean “Enron”?
🤔🤔
@Bill Bochynski
She means Enron
@Bill Bochynski yes thx
Schultz is gone hopefully the war criminal from the Nixon administration follows shortly
Thanos Holmes. Universal Villian aka Master of Universe.
20 years max for each count? Is the sentence served concurrently so it’s all together 20 years for her or can it be max 80 years ? Can anybody explain please?
It is amazing a so many people believed in this dropped out of college and trust her with billions of dollars of investment!
When it sounds too good to be true, it usually isn’t.
Deliberate scammer who risked committing manslaughter en masse
This scumbag better get at least 20 years. What a POS
Elon Musk is also Borderline here😂😆
This is what happens when people idolize feminism and women before they look at the weight of their actions.
this sket looks and sounds like mark zuckerburg, repulsive
