At Another Property, Our Excellent Commenters Showed Us That Elizabeth Holmes (And Sunny Balwani) Have Lost Their Appeals.

Y A W N.

Not even a tiny bit [or “drop“, if you prefer!]… surprising. Here’s the full opinion, and a bit:

…“[O]ne tiny drop changes everything.” That was the vision shared by Elizabeth Holmes and Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, who set out in the mid-2000s to revolutionize medical laboratory testing through a biotechnology company called Theranos. In the early 2010s, Theranos claimed that it could run fast, accurate, and affordable tests with just a drop of blood drawn from the prick of a finger, in contrast to traditional testing methods that require large needles to draw blood from a vein.

Investors, health care professionals and companies, and Silicon Valley spectators were captivated by the potential of Theranos’s revolutionary technology. As a result, Holmes and Balwani were able to establish relationships with major companies, investors, and prominent figures, including high-ranking members of the United States military.

But the vision sold by Holmes and Balwani was nothing more than a mirage….

So… I think that means she’s got about nine more years to go, on the inside. And like 12, for Sunny. [I suspect they will both try a one-in-a-million shot at getting certorari (an exceptional, permissive appeal) from the Supremes… but that will never come to pass. Heh.]

That’s… justice.

Onward. Thanks, Billy! And g’night, to all of good will!
