#ElizabethHolmesTrial

Theranos founder faces fraud charges in Silicon Valley’s biggest scandal.

Origin & Impact

Elizabeth Holmes’ fraud trial over her defunct blood-testing startup Theranos began in August 2021, exposing the dark side of Silicon Valley’s “fake it till you make it” culture. Her January 2022 conviction on four fraud counts capped a spectacular fall from $4.5 billion valuation to prison.

The trial captivated those fascinated by tech hubris and deception.
