This course covers the government's allegations against Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos. She began as a promising young student at Stanford University. Before completing her undergraduate studies, Ms. Holmes began pitching an idea to investors. Investors bought into the hype that innovative strategies at Theranos would revolutionize medical testing. Sophisticated groups overlooked their internal policies on due diligence. Instead, many investors relied upon representations by Elizabeth Holmes and her team at Theranos. Investors bought shares in Theranos at a valuation that exceeded $5 billion. The business news celebrated Elizabeth Holmes as one of the nation's youngest billionaires. When the market learned that the Theranos team had misrepresented corporate performance, the valuation of Theranos imploded. An investigation started, followed by a criminal indictment and a lengthy jury trial. Listen and learn from the Theranos case.
