Fraud
Theranos was a privately held corporation that claimed to have developed a breakthrough blood-testing technology that only required very small amounts of blood. The company raised nearly $700 million from venture capitalists and private investors, most of whom were ultra-wealthy, in private placements not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). At its peak, Theranos was valued at approximately $10 billion. Eventually it was revealed that many of the claims made by Theranos and Ms. Holmes about its technology and business were false. The SEC brought a civil action against Theranos and Ms. Holmes under the anti-fraud provisions of federal securities laws, which was subsequently settled. The Justice Department then brought an 11-count criminal indictment against Ms. Holmes for wire fraud and conspiracy, among other charges. Based on the same conduct as the SEC’s civil action, in January 2022 a jury convicted Ms. Holmes of three counts of investor-related wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud investors; the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the remaining charges.
