What happened

Theranos claimed to have revolutionary blood-testing technology that could perform hundreds of health tests with a single pinprick, but the technology did not work. The company partnered with Walgreens to market the product in stores, but thousands of test results were invalidated or called into question. Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and COO Ramesh Balwani were criminally convicted for the fraud.
