About the podcast
The year is 2021. Elizabeth Holmes, once the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire, walks into a San Jose courtroom accused of lying to investors, doctors, and patients about her blood-testing startup, Theranos. Her charisma made her a Silicon Valley icon. Now it may be her only defense. John Carreyrou, the reporter who broke the Theranos scandal, takes you inside the trial that ended with a guilty verdict and a prison sentence of more than a decade, as he examines Silicon Valley’s fake-it-til-you-make-it culture and the case against Holmes.
