The Theranos trial is looking interesting.
Elizabeth Homes is throwing Sunny Balwani under the bus, claiming loads of the company's problems were due to him, and saying he physically and mentally abused her over a span of 10 years. He'd previously loaned Theranos nearly 14 million bucks to keep the company afloat, which was never paid back. Don't feel sorry for the guy as he sounds like a right cunt whose getting his just deserts to be honest, but it's ruthless as fuck on the part of her lawyers.
The state seem to be doing a good job at trial, sounds like they've been wrecking her defence team regularly with facts.
Testing sick people, all while knowing that the equipment is faulty and the results inaccurate, deserves a special place in hell. I'm hoping she gets a similar sentence to Jeff Skilling, it's doubtful as this trials taking place in California, and she deliberately popped a kid before the trial started to gain a jury's sympathy.
Not posting links as it's a complex trial with a lengthy backstory. If you're interested in financial crime, The Dropout podcast covers the whole saga very well, John Carreyrou's book Bad Blood is a decent read for more in-depth info.
