The myth of "blood to check cancer" is shattered The founder of the American blood test company was convicted of fraud

On January 3, local time, the judgment of the Fraud Case of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Silicon Valley biotechnology startup Theranos, was released. Holmes has been charged on 11 counts, of which 4 are convicted and 4 are not convicted, and the other 3 charges have not yet been decided.

The blood testing company, founded in 2003, once claimed that it only needed to collect a few drops of blood from the fingertips to perform disease screening and comprehensive health testing. Holmes rose to fame in Silicon Valley.

Prosecutors said several investors, including media mogul Murdoch, were deceived in the decade since the company was founded. A series of investigations by the Wall Street Journal debunked the fact of Holmes' fraud. In 2018, she was sued alongside the company's former chief operating officer, Sunny Balwani.

Defending herself in court, Holmes said she never intentionally deceived anyone because the quality of the tests was the responsibility of the company's laboratory supervisors.

Each charge in Holmes faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, accumulating 80 years. But legal experts say it is unlikely to reach that high sentence and that Holmes may continue to appeal.
