Elizabeth Holmes: The Billion-Dollar Illusion
from True Crime Now Hosted by Audio Bleach Global
At nineteen, Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of Stanford University with a promise to revolutionise medicine. Her company, Theranos, claimed it could perform a wide range of medical tests using just a few drops of blood. Investors poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the business, and Holmes became one of Silicon Valley's most celebrated entrepreneurs. But behind the billion-dollar valuation, serious questions were emerging about the technology, the accuracy of its results and what Holmes knew. In this five-chapter investigation, True Crime Now examines the extraordinary rise and collapse of Theranos, the whistleblowers who exposed its problems, and the criminal trial that sent Elizabeth Holmes to prison. Plus, an exclusive bonus chapter exploring A24's upcoming documentary You Can See Everything, and what it could reveal about the woman behind one of Silicon Valley's most notorious fraud scandals. How did a promise to transform healthcare become a billion-dollar deception?
