The $9 Billion Lie That Started With One Drop of Blood

The Elizabeth Holmes Theranos scandal promised 240 tests from one drop of blood and raised $945 million on a box that never worked. The film traces Holmes from Stanford dropout in 2003 to the Edison and MiniLab, the 40-store Walgreens deal in Arizona, and the lab that ran less than 15% of tests on its own devices and the rest on hacked Siemens machines bought on eBay. It covers the $9 billion valuation and 2014 Forbes cover to the 135-month sentence cut to 123 months in March 2026, the $452 million owed with Sunny Balwani, and the pending commutation request to President Trump.
