Ep. 230: Does The Holmes Conviction Put Tech Startups On Notice?

This week a federal jury convicted former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes of defrauding investors, but cleared her of charges that she deceived patients with blood-testing technology she knew didn’t work. We’re joined by Law360 reporter Dorothy Atkins who covered the lengthy trial to walk us through which side was the big winner in the case, what it means for another Theranos executive who is still facing charges, and how the verdict may change the behavior of tech startups. Also this week: A Texas appellate court overturns a verdict after Zoom glitches taint a trial; the D.C. Circuit gives new life to a lawsuit that accuses pharma giants of financing terrorism; and we discuss some recent overlaps between reality TV and the law.
