Elizabeth Holmes

The creator of Hulu's "The Dropout" breaks down what's fact and fiction in the jaw-dropping Elizabeth Holmes scammer series.

"But then Phyllis, for me in the series, became the voice of women in the sciences and other female founders, (underlining) the effect that Elizabeth had on a field that is so male-dominated. "Ana Arriola (Nicky Endres), who was one of the employees at Theranos, saw Elizabeth in her car before work one morning dancing to a hip-hop song by herself when she thought no one was looking. One of the more surprising supporting characters in "Dropout" is the resentful Richard Fuisz (William H. Macy), a medical inventor and Holmes' childhood next-door neighbor, who clashes with her in the first episode before she heads to college. "The story is full of moments we can't really believe." In the last few minutes of the finale, Theranos lawyer Linda Tanner (Michaela Watkins) informs Elizabeth that investors including media mogul Rupert Murdoch have jumped ship, and urges her to declare bankruptcy. With Evans, "there seemed to be a real pivot," Meriwether says.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Evan Sernoffsky is an investigative reporter for KTVU who covered the four-month-long Elizabeth Holmes fraud trial from gavel-to-gavel.

The couple reportedly married, although, the legal and financial details of that union are unclear. By the time the CMS report came out, though, Holmes was forced to sing a different tune. Richard and Phyllis work with John Carreyrou to build a case First they think you're crazy, then they fight you, and then all of a sudden you change the world." This really happened, and it's so important to the story that it's still coming up at trial. Richard and Phyllis work with John Carreyrou to build a case

CEO and founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, has been portrayed on the Hulu series The Dropout starring Amanda Seyfried. Her twitter account is still ...

This one says, “Define what is non-negotiable to you, what you are willing to fight for, die for, live for,” superimposed on the Golden Gate Bridge. Menacing, considering how people use this as a place to “die for” stuff. And nothing lays bare the callowness of empty “feminism” than wishing Margaret Thatcher’s corpse “Happy birthday.” Holmes was really trying to get “#ironsisters” going. The season finale of The Dropout, Hulu’s nuanced portrait of a turtle-necked girlboss, dropped on April 7, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time. Holmes’s feed at this time is full of her retweeting her own quotes. It appears that Holmes’s Twitter account from Theranos’s heyday is still more or less entirely intact and available to peruse with tweets going back to August 2015.

Elizabeth Holmes was found guilty of three counts of fraud and one count of defrauding public investors. She awaits her sentence while residing with her.

In a symbolic move, she took out her turtleneck, which Sunny had told her to wear once, so that the people would take her seriously. Elizabeth put all the blame on Sunny Balwani and told the board members that everything was his fault, and she was completely unaware of it. She got a dog and came into a relationship with a younger guy named Billy Evans. She had closed her eyes so that the world couldn’t see her. He tells him that he was depressed and had stopped meeting any of his friends as he was scared that the ones who were following him would hurt him. In February 2016, the report came out, and to the delight of John Carreyrou and all the others who vehemently opposed Elizabeth and her means, Theranos was instructed to shut down one of its labs for 2 years. She was asked to be succinct, but instead, she was thrown off balance. Erika Cheung decided that she was going to send a formal complaint to CMS as she knew that if there was anybody who was going to stop Theranos, it would be a federal agency. The big question was how long Sunny Balwani and Elizabeth Holmes would be able to protect their Tinseltown. It was amusing to see that the couple were ready to go to any extent to save their world. Getting Tyler Shultz on record meant that Geroge Shultz would also be involved, and that had the potential to stir the whole nation. The article that he had written was to be corroborated with more evidence and testimonies now. The article, though it didn’t cause much damage per se, was the first dent in a series of onslaughts that was about to follow. Previously, in “The Dropout,” we saw that John Carreyrou got the green signal from Judith to print the article in the Wall Street Journal after they had a meeting with David Boies, who was representing Elizabeth Holmes. Tyler Schultz was pestered by Linda Tanner, Elizabeth’s attorney, to sign an NDA, which abstained him from talking to John Carreyrou or leaking any information about Theranos. He was constantly being followed by men and was living in constant fear.

The final episode also revealed Holmes was facing up to 20 years in prison, on charges of nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. At her trial, Holmes stated Balwani controlled and sexually abused her. Like Holmes, Balwani was indicted on two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and nine counts of wire fraud. After eight gripping episodes, Hulu's The Dropout has come to a jaw-dropping end. In January 2022, Holmes was found guilty of four counts of defrauding investors — three counts of wire fraud, and one of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. In June 2018, Holmes and Balwani, who was also Holmes' boyfriend for a time, were indicted on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

The real story continues to unfurl with the Theranos trial ongoing, and the whistleblowers taking different paths.

"I mean, you're legally barred from running a company for the next 10 years but get a dog and a boyfriend and just have fun!" Elizabeth is frantically throwing her belongings in a cardboard box, rushing out the door and leaving Sunny. "This is how you treat someone who loves you," he pleads, crouching in front of a dismissive Elizabeth. "I'm just taking a moment to enjoy myself and have fun," Elizabeth says. "I don't want to be pigeonholed as the Theranos reporter for my entire career," he told The Verge. "I'd like to do other things, and that may be, you know, writing another book, probably involves doing more journalism . . ." A disheveled Sunny races to the meeting, frantic and agitated. "She won't come back from this," he laughs, tossing the report on her desk. The final episode of Hulu's "The Dropout" is one of unraveling. In the finale, he darts into his editor's office, copy of the damning report in hand. Flux Biosciences is designed to use a "portable machine" to help individuals figure out if anything in their blood could lead to a potential illness. In a TED talk, she warns of " moonshots," ambitious projects that often cloud the judgment of those involved who are hyper-fixated on goals rather than reality. It catches its viewers up to the present day, as Holmes faces trial, meets a new boyfriend, gets pregnant and continues to run from her past. Elizabeth flinches as she looks in the mirror, seeing herself for perhaps the first time.
