Criminal charges

On June 15, 2018, following an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco that lasted more than two years, a federal grand jury indicted Holmes and former Theranos chief operating officer and president Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors allege that Holmes and Balwani engaged in two criminal schemes, one to defraud investors, the other to defraud doctors and patients.[7][56] After the indictment was issued, Holmes stepped down as CEO of Theranos but remained chairperson of the board.[8]

The case is proceeding in the U.S. District Court in San Jose. Holmes and Balwani have pleaded not guilty.[57] They face up to 20 years in prison.[58]

her revolutionary blood test was a fake.

Faking blood test results could potentially kill someone, I wonder if anyone died or was gravely injured because of her fraudulent machines?

And if so, I wonder if that could be proven in court?

They tacitly admitted they did it the moment they voided 31,000 test results

A tacit admission that they endangered people is not the same as proving someone was actually killed, disabled, or hospitalized because of this mess, and of course Walgreens isn't going to admit they let that happen.

Because yes, it's entirely possible that someone was killed because they were prescribed a medication they didn't need, because of inaccurate test results, or failed to get a medicine they did need. Nothing about that yet, and you'd think it would have come up by now if it happened.

Definitely agreed
